Fulham FC have intensified their efforts to secure the permanent signing of Samuel Chukwueze after opening talks with AC Milan over a summer deal, Boldsports report.
The Nigerian winger has enjoyed a resurgence since arriving in the Premier League on loan, rediscovering the form that once made him one of Europe’s most exciting wide players. After an inconsistent spell in Italy, the 25-year-old has looked sharper, more confident, and far more decisive in England.
One of the defining moments of his loan spell came in December, when he produced a brilliant brace against Manchester City—a performance that underlined his growing influence and convinced Fulham’s hierarchy of his long-term value.
Beyond his on-field impact, Chukwueze has also settled seamlessly into life at Craven Cottage. The presence of fellow Nigerians Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey has helped him adapt quickly, creating a familiar environment that has translated into improved performances.

Reports from Italy indicate that Fulham have already made their intentions clear through intermediaries, signalling a willingness to activate the purchase option included in the loan agreement. While formal confirmation is still pending, the move reflects strong commitment from the London club.
Chukwueze himself is believed to be open to making the switch permanent. Having found stability and consistent playing time, the winger is said to favour staying in England if both clubs can finalise terms.
For Milan, the potential deal represents an opportunity to recoup a significant fee. The buy clause is understood to be in the region of €24 million, with additional bonuses potentially pushing the total to €28 million. Considering his struggles to secure a regular starting role—amid competition from players like Christian Pulisic—the Italian side view the arrangement as a practical outcome.
The move now hinges on Fulham making their approach official. Should that happen, all indications suggest negotiations will progress smoothly, bringing an end to Chukwueze’s brief but challenging chapter in Serie A.
For the Super Eagles star, the transfer would mark more than just a permanent switch—it would confirm a successful reset, with his performances in England proving that, in the right system, he remains a highly effective attacking force.
