Seven-time UEFA Champions League winners, AC Milan, are looking to reopen talks with Fulham about a potential transfer for Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 25-year-old winger was linked with a move to the Cottagers during the January transfer window, with a move nearly getting over the line, but for a late entry into the transfer market.
With the Nigerian struggling for playing time, Milan are looking to ship him off in the summer and are trying to negotiate a move away from the San Siro for Chukwueze.

As per Sports Witness, Marco Silva’s side are still very interested in the former Villareal winger. He’s currently valued between €12m and €15m right now, €12m less than Milan spent to secure Chukwueze’s services from the Yellow Submarines last season.
However, Fulham face stiff competition as the Super Eagles winger also has offers in Spain, with Real Betis and Sevilla keen on his services, but it is believed Fulham have the upper hand in the transfer situation.
Should Chukwueze move to Fulham?
Fulham have been promising under Marco Silva, growing steadily season by season. The Cottagers are eyeing a finish in the Premier League top half that’ll see them qualify for European competitions next campaign.
Should Chukwueze move to the London-based side, he’ll have the luxury of featuring in Europe (an opportunity Milan might not afford next season), and he’ll be a squad player at least as his skills and pace are what makes wingers thrive in the English Premier League.
Additionally, Fulham houses two Super Eagles in Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, and Chukwueze will feel right at home at the Craven Cottage, settling in nicely with the Nigerian Internationals.
Milan are currently 9th on the Serie A table, five points below the UEFA Conference League qualification spot, while Fulham are 9th in the English Premier League.
