La Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that Milan have reached a final agreement with Villarreal over the price for Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze, who could now officially join the Rossoneri in the coming days.
According to Gazzetta’s report, Milan have agreed to pay a total package of €28m for Chukwueze, made up of €20m up front and €8m in bonuses.
The 24-year-old will reportedly sign a four-year contract at San Siro, valid until teh end of the 2026-27 season, having already agreed upon personal terms as per Calciomercato.com.
At present, Chukwueze has just one year remaining on his contract with Villarreal, hence why they are willing to cash in on him this summer rather than letting him leave for free in 12 months time.
Gazzetta also claim that Chukwueze’s move will now be pushed through as quickly as possible with an official announcement expected over the weekend, or by Monday at the latest.
Milan are hopeful that Chukwueze will then be able to join Stefano Pioli and the rest of the Rossoneri squad in the United States to take part in the team’s pre-season tour.
So far this summer, Milan have already brought in Marco Sportiello, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Romero, Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders, as well as having Noah Okafor on the ground ready for a medical, meaning that Chukwueze would likely be the team’s seventh signing of the summer.
Milan is cooking up a storm. ⚫️🔴 Where’s the Doom & Gloom crowd?
Finally my brother signs for AC Milan. Great signing!
The doom and gloom crowd? They have resigned and left the building. Maybe they can go doom and gloom about other teams. In other words, people posting non-stop negativity… you can eat cake.
Milan is now the best team in Seria A…. Looking at the players and what the board is doing for the reinforcement of the team capable of winning everything in Europe as well as the world is wonderful.
This more like it to say the least. Finally the winners is being an lished at last,I can see us being more competitive this season going forward.lts Forza Milan…… Forza Milan again and again.
That’s a lot of new arrivals in Milan. I hope Pioli does great work to ensure mutual understanding among all these players. It’s critical for them to mesh well.
