AC Milan Confident Fulham Will Trigger €24m Option for Samuel Chukwueze After Loan Spell

AC Milan is optimistic that Fulham will activate the €24 million option to secure the permanent signing of Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze following his impressive loan spell in the Premier League. Reports suggest that Milan expects to earn twice the amount of Chukwueze's definitive sale, providing a significant financial boost for their squad rebuild.

Chukwueze, who has contributed three goals and four assists across competitions, has been influential for Fulham, leading to their confidence in triggering the buy clause. Despite a brief interruption due to international duties at the Africa Cup of Nations, Chukwueze has maintained positive momentum and strengthened his position within Fulham's attacking setup.

The 26-year-old's recent performances have improved his status within manager Marco Silva's plans, with his pace, direct runs, and enhanced productivity adding a new dimension to Fulham's forward line. Fulham currently sits tenth in the Premier League standings, benefitting from Chukwueze's growing influence.

AC Milan's belief in Chukwueze's continued impact suggests a potential permanent move at the end of the season.
