Despite recent speculation about AC Milan potentially offloading Samuel Chukwueze this summer, the Nigerian winger has dropped hints on social media suggesting his desire to remain at San Siro.
Chukwueze`s Social Media Post Fuels Speculation
The 26-year-old shared an Instagram post featuring himself in a classic Rossoneri shirt, accompanied by red and black heart emojis. This gesture has been interpreted as a sign of his commitment to the club. Notably, his teammates Rafael Leao and Fikayo Tomori showed their support by liking the post.
Saelemaekers` Return May Impact Chukwueze`s Position
However, Chukwueze`s future at Milan remains uncertain. Recent reports suggest that manager Massimiliano Allegri is considering retaining Alexis Saelemaekers, who is returning from a loan spell at Roma, as a backup to Christian Pulisic. This decision could potentially affect Chukwueze`s role in the team.
Chukwueze`s Milan Journey
The Nigeria international joined Milan in a €21 million transfer from Villarreal in the summer of 2023. Since his arrival, Chukwueze has made 69 appearances across all competitions for the Rossoneri, contributing eight goals and six assists.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Milan`s plans will align with Chukwueze`s apparent desire to stay at the club.
