€15 million bid rebuffed: Samuel Chukwueze chooses Milan over Turkey

Trabzonspor's €15 million offer for 27‑year‑old Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze was turned down as he opts to stay at AC Milan pending clarification of his role under new manager Ruben Amorim. The winger rejected the Turkish club's proposal to remain in Italy and assess his prospects.

Fulham have moved on from Chukwueze after deciding not to make his loan spell permanent, signalling the club’s intent to pursue other options. The decision reflects Fulham’s assessment that a permanent deal did not represent the best value.

During his loan at Fulham, Chukwueze contributed three goals and four assists in 25 appearances across all competitions. Those numbers demonstrated his ability to influence games at a high level despite occasional inconsistency.

Chukwueze wants to evaluate his chances under AC Milan’s newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim before making any long‑term decision. He believes the change in management could open fresh opportunities for the winger.

By rejecting Trabzonspor, Chukwueze signals confidence that he can still compete at one of Europe’s leading clubs. The €15 million figure underscores his ambition to remain at a top‑tier side.

Fulham supporters are likely to wish him well while the club continues to identify players fitting its long‑term plans, a process that has often been a strength in recent seasons. The market interest in Chukwueze highlights the broader appetite for quality wingers across Europe.

Chukwueze will now await clarity over his role at AC Milan, with his future hinging on the new manager’s assessment and the club’s strategic direction.
