Samuel Chukwueze, a 26-year-old Nigerian winger, is getting closer to leaving Milan this summer market. The Italian club is looking for an exit for him, whether through a transfer or a new loan, as he is not in Rúben Amorim's plans, while several LaLiga teams have already shown interest in his situation after his spell at Fulham.

The player returned to San Siro this summer after spending the 2025-26 season on loan at Fulham, who ultimately decided not to exercise the purchase option included in the agreement. During his time in the Premier League, he played 25 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists.

Samuel Chukwueze not in Milan's plans

Milan's intention is to trim a squad that Amorim wants to adapt to his style of play. In this scenario, Chukwueze is among the players most likely to leave the club before the market closes.

The Nigerian international, who arrived at the Italian side from Villarreal in the summer of 2023 for a fee close to 28 million euros, is under contract, but the Italian club is open to either a sale or a loan if they receive a satisfactory offer.

The winger's situation has also aroused interest because his market value remains high despite not managing to establish himself at San Siro. His experience in European competitions and his international career with Nigeria keep him desirable on the market.

LaLiga back on Samuel Chukwueze's horizon

Chukwueze's name is once again linked to LaLiga, a league where he delivered outstanding performances during his time at Villarreal. With the Castellon team, he played 207 official matches, scored 37 goals, and provided 29 assists, in addition to winning the 2021 Europa League.

His performance has led several Spanish clubs to keep an eye on his future. Although no official offers have emerged yet, the player's profile fits teams looking to strengthen their wings with a player accustomed to the pace of Spanish competition.

His thorough knowledge of LaLiga could facilitate an immediate adaptation, an aspect that several clubs view as an advantage over other alternatives in the market.

Stint at Fulham keeps his market open

The loan at Fulham allowed Chukwueze to regain continuity after an inconsistent period at Milan. The London team appreciated his performances during the season, although they ultimately chose not to exercise the purchase option, leading the attacker to return to Italy at the end of the season.

With several weeks remaining until the market closes, the future of Samuel Chukwueze remains open. Milan prioritizes finding a definitive solution for the winger, while LaLiga looms as one of the destinations with more possibilities due to the interest of several clubs and the positive memories he left during his time at Villarreal.
