Schira: ‘One step away’ – Milan close to sealing Chukwueze’s exit with obligation

Almost all of the deals being done by AC Milan now are being done as loans, with obligations to buy next summer.

With Samuele Chukwueze, the story of him and Milan is done. The Nigerian arrived with great promise and excitement, but he has failed to deliver much since joining two summers ago. This is probably due to Christian Pulisic’s impact.

However, when given chances, the winger has often failed to exceed expectations, so earning a starting role has been tough. His game never really adapted to Serie A, so an exit has seemed likely for a while now.

Another one to go

In the past month, Fulham have taken a great interest in things, and a move has become possible. Originally, a permanent deal was considered, but a loan move seems to have been favoured.

Nevertheless, the issue appears to have been solved. According to Nicolo Schira, the winger is ‘one step away’ from Craven Cottage, where he will join Fulham on loan with a €25 million obligation inserted into the deal.

Though like the moves for Yunus Musah and Alex Jimenez, these obligations are conditional on certain things being met. With a contract until 2030 already agreed, it is imagined that these conditions will not be difficult.
