Another signing for AC Milan! The Nigerian speedster is to come from Villarreal, how much will the Rossoneri pay for him?

AC Milan has another signing! This time it is Villarreal right winger Samuel Chukwueze, whose transfer is expected to be officially confirmed in the next few dozen hours. The Rossoneri will send €20 million to the Spanish side.

AC Milan have been very active in the transfer market so far this year. They officially announced their first signing at the beginning of July, when they brought goalkeeper Marco Sportiello from Atalanta Bergamo. And they also completed the transfer of Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea.

He cost the Rossoneri 16 million euros. Subsequently, young Luca Romero from Lazio Roma, whose contract expired at the club and thus became a free agent, also joined the Italian big club. AC spent 20 million euros on Christian Pulisic.

The champion of the 2021/22 season sent the same amount to Alkmaar, from where he brought the best player of the Eredivisie last season – Tijjani Reijnders. And most recently, AC also completed the transfer of Noah Okafor from Salzburg.

AC paid 14 million euros for the Swiss striker. Now the fans of the Milan giant can look forward to a reinforcement number 7.

As already reported by the well-known and trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, Samuel Chukwueze will be the next addition to the cabinet of the famous club. AC Milan will send 20 million euros to Villarreal, plus another eight the Spanish club can collect in possible bonuses.

Chukwueze was supposed to sign a five-year contract, the medical will just be a formality. In the opposite direction, full-back Matteo Gabbia is heading on loan, but this move is not part of the aforementioned transfer.
