Exclusive: Fulham’s Loan Bid for Samuel Chukwueze Rejected as Milan Demand Permanent Transfer

Premier League side Fulham have expressed serious interest in AC Milan forward Samuel Chukwueze, SportsBoom can exclusively report.

The Cottagers are eager to sign the Nigerian international this summer and have made fresh contact with the Rossoneri regarding their plans.

Milan Open to Sale

Chukwueze’s future at San Siro remains uncertain after several underwhelming seasons following his move from Villarreal.

According to a source, Milan are prepared to let the winger leave this summer, provided their conditions for a transfer are met.

Loan Offer Rejected

Fulham first made an enquiry in June and have now returned with a loan proposal. 

However, Milan are unwilling to sanction a simple loan, insisting instead on a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation to buy.

Chukwueze has not spoken publicly about his future, but sources suggest he remains focused on his football, whether at Milan or elsewhere. 

A move to the Premier League is considered an option that could revive his career after a frustrating spell in Italy.

Negotiations Continue

Talks between Milan and Fulham are expected to resume in the coming days as the transfer deadline approaches. Both clubs are hopeful of finding a solution.

Chukwueze joined Milan from Villarreal in the summer of 2023 for €21.1m, with up to €7m in potential add-ons.

Since then, he has contributed eight goals and six assists in 69 competitive appearances.

The 25-year-old featured as a second-half substitute in Milan’s Serie A opener, which ended in a 2-1 home defeat to newly promoted Cremonese.
