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

Published on by

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.

​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.

​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.
