Samuel Chukwueze’s Milan Move In Jeopardy

The acquisition of Samuel Chukwueze by AC Milan is in jeopardy as Porto’s Medhi Taremi has emerged as a potential replacement for Atletico Madrid’s Alvaro Morata in the Milan attack, according to Anaedoonline Sports Extra.

Despite interest from both the player and Villarreal, the Nigerian forward’s transfer to the Italian powerhouse has not materialized in recent months.
The president of Villarreal, Fernando Roig, expressed last week his skepticism over Milan’s desire to sign the player, despite the Rossoneri allegedly making an offer of €25 million, plus add-ons, for the Nigerian winger. The Yellow Submarines are believed to want their €35 million valuation to be satisfied.

Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic is on his way from Chelsea, but the Rossoneri also want more reinforcements to the front line this summer. Morata had been mentioned as one of the primary candidates, although there is confusion over what exactly his status is.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the release clause in his contract is worth €12m, but reports in Spain continue to assure it is closer to €20m.
But due to Milan’s inability to use the ‘growth decree’ to get a 50 per cent tax discount on his salary, it makes him a more expensive option than originally hoped, so La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportitalia suggest the club is instead looking towards FC Porto striker Taremi.

The Iran international turns 31 later this month and has also been linked with Roma and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
His contract with Porto expires in June 2024, so he would be available for a relatively affordable price.

However, there is another problem, specifically, he is a non-EU player and Milan only have one slot left in the squad. If Taremi takes it, then they cannot sign Chukwueze from Villarreal while they have also identified Gustav Tang Isaksen from Midtjylland as an alternative to the Nigerian.
