One step away from a farewell in the final hours of January, between him and Milan the story is over: he will be sold in June

In the month of January, Milan has been an absolute protagonist in the market. Not only with purchases but also, and perhaps above all, with disposals. The Rossoneri made a real revolution with the farewells of Calabria, Morata, Bennacer and Okafor. All four were replaced by new arrivals, most of them arriving in the final hours of February 3, the day the market closed. These were actually supposed to be joined by others.
In the course of the month, Milan has been close to the exits of Emerson Royal (transfer blocked by injury with Girona), Pavlovic (who did not want to know), Tomori (who pushed to stay) and, finally, in the very last hours, Samuel Chukwueze. For the Nigerian came an offer almost on the final gong from Fulham: an attempt that fell through because there was no technical time to reach an agreement. For several weeks we have been telling you about his possible move to the Premier League, but the track still remains wide open ahead of June.
In estate sarà addio, decisione presa
Between Chukwueze and Milan, the right feeling never clicked. In the summer of 2023 he arrived from Villarreal as the most expensive purchase: 20 million plus 8 million in bonuses to the Spaniards. Much more was expected of him but in reality he always struggled greatly. With Stefano Pioli he played little and poorly, too far from the coach’s ideas of play. With Fonseca’s arrival we expected anything but, and the premises, which we had seen during the summer, were excellent. But the marasmus that has beset Milan in recent months has been difficult for him as well.

In short, unfortunately, the romance has gone bad and there is every indication that it will go even worse. New arrivals, especially that of Riccardo Sottil, take even more space away from him. Samuel will surely come in handy in some matches between now and the end of the season, but at the end of the year his transfer seems very but very likely.
Milan will continue to revolution and the team in the summer and Chukwueze will almost certainly return. There are always Premier League sirens for him, but also watch out for two other tracks: a return to Spain, where he has expressed himself at the highest level, or an exotic destination such as Saudi Arabia, from which he received several rich proposals last summer. All rejected.
