Samuel Chukwueze could secure AC Milan a transfer fee of up to €24 million if Fulham decide to make his move permanent.
The Nigerian winger is currently on loan at the Premier League club, with an option to buy included in the agreement. Should Fulham activate that clause, Milan stand to receive a significant financial return.
Chukwueze’s season has not been without challenges. Physical setbacks and his involvement in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations interrupted his rhythm.
Despite those obstacles, he has worked his way into Fulham’s starting line-up and established a consistent presence in the side.
Since returning to Premier League action, the winger has scored three goals and provided four assists.
Those contributions have strengthened the case for a permanent transfer, with his performances increasing the likelihood that Fulham will consider triggering the option.
For Milan, the situation forms part of a broader financial strategy.
According to reports in the Italian press, the club’s various loan arrangements have already generated close to €70 million.
A portion of that sum is said to be secured, underlining the scale of the operation.
Chukwueze is not the only player involved in this approach. Other Milan players currently out on loan — including Alex Jimenez, Pobega, Terracciano and Colombo — could further raise the overall figure if their respective deals are converted into permanent transfers.
This structured use of loan agreements is providing the Lombardy club with increased financial flexibility ahead of the summer transfer window.
Potential incoming fees could offer Milan room to manoeuvre in the market while reshaping their squad.
As Fulham weigh up their decision, Chukwueze’s recent displays may prove decisive.
If the London side opt to formalise the move, Milan would secure a substantial return, reinforcing a strategy that appears designed to balance sporting objectives with economic planning.
