Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze is staying put at AC Milan after his return on loan from Fulham.
Milan new coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed he plans to keep Chukwueze.
“Chukwueze will stay with us because of his one against one and I think we need players that can go one against one,” Amorim stated.
“..I think players like Musa and Chukwueze have the quality to be in our squad and give us alternatives to play in different systems.”
After a loan spell at Fulham, 27-year-old Chukwueze was expected to leave AC Milan, with the club considering his sale to raise funds.
The Nigeria international, who has 59 caps and 7 goals for his country, had attracted interest from several clubs in recent weeks, including Fulham, Trabzonspor, Bologna, and Fiorentina.
Amorim’s decision has ended the transfer speculation surrounding the winger, who joined Milan from Villarreal in July 2023 for a reported €20 million plus bonuses, has a contract until June 2028 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €18 million.
Before Amorim’s decision, a reported €15 million offer from Trabzonspor in June 2026 was considered too low, while Milan’s asking price earlier in the year was reportedly around €30 million.
