AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze has publicly expressed his desire to see compatriot Victor Osimhen join him at the San Siro amid ongoing speculation surrounding the striker’s future. Osimhen, currently at Napoli, has been the subject of intense transfer rumors linking him with a potential move to the Premier League or Paris Saint-Germain during this summer’s transfer window.
Speaking to *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, Chukwueze revealed his conversations with Osimhen, urging the prolific forward to consider a switch to AC Milan.
The Nigerian international highlighted his enthusiasm for a potential reunion with Osimhen at the club level, where the two could form a formidable partnership.
“I would like to close my eyes, open them, and see Osimhen in Milan,” Chukwueze said, sharing his hopes of convincing his fellow Nigerian to make the move.
“I always say to him: ‘Are you sure you don’t want to come?’ He says: ‘Samuel, you know it’s difficult…’”
Osimhen, who played a crucial role in Napoli’s Serie A title win last season, has attracted attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
His impressive goal-scoring record and physical prowess have made him one of the most sought-after strikers in the current transfer market.
However, with Napoli determined to retain their star player, any potential transfer is expected to be challenging and costly.
Chukwueze’s remarks come at a time when AC Milan is looking to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
The Rossoneri, who have been active in the transfer market, could significantly enhance their attacking options with the addition of Osimhen.
The prospect of teaming up with his international teammate is clearly appealing to Chukwueze, who believes Osimhen would be a perfect fit for Milan.
Osimhen, on the other hand, faces a pivotal decision in his career. While the allure of the Premier League or PSG offers lucrative opportunities, the chance to join AC Milan and play alongside Chukwueze presents a different kind of challenge.
The striker has remained non-committal about his future, acknowledging the difficulty of making such a move.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Osimhen’s situation remains one of the most closely watched in European football.
Whether he decides to stay in Italy, move to England, or take on a new challenge in France, the outcome will have significant implications for his career and the clubs involved.
For now, Chukwueze’s hopes of reuniting with Osimhen at AC Milan remain just that—hopes.
But in the unpredictable world of football transfers, anything is possible, and fans of the Rossoneri will be eagerly waiting to see if the Nigerian duo can make the dream a reality.
