Samuel Chukwueze’s future has taken another significant turn after fresh reports revealed AC Milan’s stance on the Nigerian winger ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Super Eagles star has been at the centre of transfer speculation for several weeks following the conclusion of his loan spell at Premier League side Fulham. While uncertainty surrounded whether the Rossoneri would cash in on the Nigerian international, new developments suggest the club’s plans have become clearer.
Chukwueze spent the 2025/26 campaign in England after joining Fulham on loan from AC Milan in search of regular playing time. The move allowed the winger to rediscover some of the form that made him one of Europe’s most exciting attackers during his time at Villarreal.
Despite attracting interest from clubs across Europe, reports indicate that incoming AC Milan boss Ruben Amorim is prepared to assess Chukwueze during pre-season before making a final decision on his long-term role within the squad. The Portuguese tactician is believed to be keen on evaluating several players who spent time away from the club before determining who fits into his plans.
That development could hand the Nigerian winger a fresh opportunity to revive his AC Milan career after a mixed spell since his high-profile move from Villarreal in 2023. Chukwueze arrived in Italy with huge expectations after establishing himself as one of La Liga’s most dangerous wide players, but consistency proved difficult to maintain amid managerial changes and fierce competition for places.
Fulham had been linked with a permanent move for the 27-year-old following his performances in the Premier League. However, reports suggest negotiations have yet to produce an agreement, leaving the door open for Chukwueze to return to Milan and fight for his place.
The situation will be closely monitored as the Super Eagles prepare for future international assignments. A settled club future is viewed as crucial for Chukwueze, who remains one of the national team’s most experienced attacking players and an important figure in Eric Chelle’s plans.
With pre-season approaching, the coming weeks could prove decisive. Whether Chukwueze earns a second chance at the San Siro or secures another move elsewhere, one thing is certain: the next chapter of his career is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing transfer stories involving a Nigerian player this summer.
