Samuel Chukwueze: Three conditions Trabzonspor must meet to land Super Eagles star

Super Eagles attacker Samuel Chukwueze has been linked with a transfer to Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor, Afrik-Foot reports.

​The 27-year-old’s future at AC Milan currently hangs in the balance. He spent last season on loan at Fulham, but the club refused to meet the €26 million clause required to make the transfer permanent.

​As a result, his future is uncertain, as he awaits the start of pre-season to see how he fits into Ruben Amorim’s plans.

Meanwhile, there remains the possibility that he will leave for another club this summer.

​On Sunday, news broke that Trabzonspor were seriously interested in signing him. However, nothing concrete has emerged just yet.

​But in this article, Afrik-Foot outlines three conditions that Trabzonspor must meet if they want to sign Chukwueze permanently.

​What Trabzonspor Must Do to Sign Samuel Chukwueze

​If Samuel Chukwueze is to leave AC Milan this summer, the club wants to ensure it is a permanent exit.

As such, they will only listen to clubs that want to buy the Super Eagles star outright or propose a loan deal with an obligation-to-buy clause.

UPDATE: Fulham do remain interested in getting Samuel Chukwueze back but will not pay the option price, they want to pay significantly less due to his end of season drop off.

Trabzonspor have opened talks and are willing to pay €15m.

​Reports also suggest that the Black Sea Storm are offering €15 million for his services, but the Rossoneri are holding out for €26 million. It is due to this discrepancy that he has not yet signed for Fulham.

The London-based club tried to get AC Milan to reduce their valuation, but the Italian side has remained adamant.

​So, if Trabzonspor want to secure the Super Eagles winger, they will likely need to increase their offer.

​As for Chukwueze, he will look to ensure he does not lose out financially through a potential transfer.

Currently, he earns around €76,000 net per week at AC Milan. A move to Trabzonspor would likely see his wages drop, but he will want to ensure any reduction is minimal.

​The former Villarreal man currently has two years left on his contract with the Rossoneri, so it remains to be seen how his future eventually plays out.
