Fulham have closed a deal with AC Milan for winger Samuel Chukwueze, with him either set to join permanently or on loan. That’s after reports earlier today that the Rossoneri were stalling because they want to use the attacker in their next match.
That’s according to journalist Orazio Accomando, who reports that Fulham and Milan have reached an agreement on their valuation of the player.
Any deal for him will be worth €22m plus €2m in bonuses that deal has been agreed and the final details are now being worked on between the two clubs.
Chukwueze will move to Fulham either on a permanent transfer or on loan. If it is the latter, it will include an obligation to buy him next summer for Fulham.
There is no mention of an agreement between Marco Silva’s side and the player but various reports over the last few days have had them pushing to sign the Nigerian before the end of the transfer window.
The Portuguese coach has been left frustrated by his side’s lack of business so far this summer but now appears to be close to adding at least one new player to his squad, with a deal now in place with Milan for Chukwueze.
Whether this agreement is contingent on that Friday issue, with AC Milan facing Lecce away, is unclear.
