AC Milan accelerate talks to sign Samuel Chukwueze

The Rossoneri's attacking line will further fortify by the acquisition of the Nigerian forward

According to sources, Serie A giants AC Milan believe they can get Samuel Chukwueze for a sum that fits inside their budget.

The feeling is that the deal can be completed, according to this morning's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), which states that Milan spoke with Villarreal concerning Chukwueze once more and that the LaLiga club dropped its demands.

When it relates to offensive individuals, Chukwueze is Milan's top pick and is now unmistakably preferred above Mehdi Taremi, who Porto continues to make high demands for.

Samuel Chukwueze's price tag

Instead, the Nigerian international might sign for roughly €25 million, which is a price that does not deter Milan; on the contrary, there may be some significant changes in the days to come.

The management would then have to start looking for a centre-forward with an EU passport given that The final non-EU slot will be assigned to Chukwueze, and certain names have started to surface.

The initiative is currently in AC Milan's hands. The decision to complete the procedure or not will be made by the AC Milan club managers in the coming hours, which would rule out Mehdi Taremi's arrival.

The decision to make room for the second non-EU player to join the squad also makes sense in light of the current speed.

In fact, Milan confirmed today that the 2004 class Boakye, who was purchased last March from MSK Zilina Africa, would be leaving the team. Boakye might now be supplanted in the team by Chukwueze.
