Chukwueze’s brace vs. Man City fuels Milan’s 30m transfer hopes

Samuel Chukwueze scored a brace in Fulham’s 5-4 loss against Manchester City last night, fuelling Milan’s hopes that the Cottagers will make the Nigerian winger’s move permanent in the summer for nearly €30m.

Milan loanee Chukwueze scored two goals in Fulham’s home defeat against Manchester City on Tuesday and his brace might be the starting point for an interesting second part of the campaign in the Premier League.

Chukwueze joined Milan for over €20m in the summer of 2023 but failed to fulfil his potential at San Siro, despite undisputed qualities.

Milan certainly hope Chukwueze’s season will take off after his brace against Pep Guardiola’s side as the Rossoneri aim to cash in nearly €30m from his permanent transfer to Fulham.

Chukwueze joined the Premier League side on loan with an option to buy last summer, and the Rossoneri would certainly be happy to earn a substantial transfer fee that could be reinvested in new signings next summer.

Therefore, the Rossoneri will be hoping to see Chukwueze shine again in other Premier League nights going forward.
