Fulham are stepping up efforts to secure the permanent signing of Samuel Chukwueze from AC Milan, following a loan spell that has delivered flashes of quality, Bold Sports reports.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Premier League side are preparing a €24 million move to activate the purchase option in the winger’s deal, a development that would suit Milan, where Chukwueze is no longer central to long-term plans.
Since arriving at Craven Cottage in search of regular minutes, the Nigerian international has gradually carved out a role under Marco Silva. While not a consistent starter, he has contributed effectively in attacking areas, offering pace and directness when called upon.
His impact has been most visible in key moments. In 17 league appearances, Chukwueze has recorded three goals and four assists, underlining his ability to influence games even without a guaranteed starting berth.

One standout performance came in early December, when he announced himself in dramatic fashion with a brace against Manchester City in a thrilling 5-4 contest; an outing that reinforced his attacking pedigree.
Earlier in the season, the winger had hinted at frustration over limited opportunities in Italy, a situation that ultimately paved the way for his switch to England. The move has since provided a platform to rediscover rhythm and confidence.
However, Fulham’s interest is being tempered by fitness considerations. Recurring calf issues have disrupted his campaign, forcing him to miss several matches across competitions and limiting his starts.
With a contract at Milan running until 2028, the final decision now hinges on whether Fulham are fully convinced by his durability. If resolved, the deal could mark a fresh chapter for Chukwueze in the Premier League.
