AC Milan’s €94 million summer: Samuel Chukwueze tops exodus list with Fulham set to commit

Published on by

Italian Serie A giants AC Milan are poised to pocket €28 million if they finalize the permanent sale of Super Eagles attacker Samuel Chukwueze to Fulham.

​After struggling to find his footing during back-to-back seasons at the San Siro, Chukwueze moved to Premier League side Fulham last summer.

Recall that the Nigerian winger originally joined AC Milan from Villarreal in a deal worth €21.1 million in 2023. However, the Rossoneri structured his move to London to ensure they would realize a profit on their initial investment.

​Chukwueze has been electric during his loan spell so far, contributing three goals and four assists in just 11 appearances.

His dynamic playmaking has directly rescued points for his side, earning him a regular spot in Marco Silva’s starting lineup — even amidst heavy competition for places in the squad.

​Given his current form, coach Silva and the Fulham hierarchy are expected to trigger a permanent deal by the end of the season.

According to Calciomercato, the agreed fee is around €28 million, making him a centerpiece of Milan’s projected €94 million summer haul.

​A Massive Summer Exodus at the San Siro

​Chukwueze is the marquee name in what is shaping up to be a significant clearing of the decks for AC Milan in the summer of 2026. The club aims to generate nearly €100 million through the departure of several first-team players.

​Aside from the Nigerian international, Yunus Musah is expected to be one of the club’s most lucrative departures, with a move to Atalanta projected to bring in €20.5 million.

Also, the Rossoneri are set to receive €15 million from the sale of veteran striker Alvaro Morata to Como, while Lorenzo Colombo is anticipated to fetch another €10 million.

​Other players expected to be offloaded to reach that €94 million target include Ismael Bennacer, Filippo Terracciano, and Tommaso Pobega.

While the transfer market is always subject to change before the window opens, AC Milan currently looks set for a major financial windfall that will likely be reinvested to reshape the squad.
