Fulham are serious about signing Samuel Chukwueze from AC Milan, according to reports in Italy. The Premier League club, who previously failed with a late January move, have now returned with a structured bid designed to finally secure the Nigerian international.
Calciomercato state that Fulham’s offer is a loan with an option to buy, which becomes an obligation if certain performance-related conditions are met. The proposal is currently being evaluated by Milan chairman Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and Chukwueze himself.
Should the 26-year-old depart the San Siro in the coming days, Milan are expected to move for Vasco da Gama’s highly rated youngster Rayan as a replacement. With Fulham keen to strengthen Marco Silva’s attacking options before the window closes, this could be a defining move in their late-summer recruitment.
Chukwueze’s Situation at Milan
The winger has struggled to establish himself in Milan since joining from Villarreal in 2023. Injuries and inconsistency limited his minutes, and the Rossoneri are now open to a deal if the structure makes financial sense.

Fulham, meanwhile, see him as a player who can bring pace, creativity and direct threat from wide areas, particularly after losing key attacking depth earlier this summer.

Chukwueze played 28 matches in all competitions last season, scoring four goals and registering three assists. His dribbling ability remains a standout attribute, though his end product has been inconsistent.
Analyst Verdict
From reviewing his Milan stint, Chukwueze remains a high-ceiling talent but has yet to consistently deliver in Serie A. His pace and ability to beat defenders 1v1 fit perfectly into Marco Silva’s system at Fulham, where direct wide play is key.
The structure of Fulham’s bid — loan with conditional obligation — makes this a low-risk, high-reward move for the Premier League side. For Milan, it frees up a foreign player slot and allows them to pursue emerging talents like Rayan.

For Milan, much will depend on their ability to secure a replacement quickly, with Vasco’s Rayan already lined up as the primary candidate.
Should Fulham push this deal through now — or focus their resources on a proven Premier League attacker instead?
