Fulham Eye Price Cut For Super Eagles Ace Permanent Signing

English Premier League side Fulham are set to approve a permanent deal for Nigerian international winger Samuel Chukwueze, who is on loan to the club from Italian giants AC Milan, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Chuckwueze joined the team in the summer on a loan deal that gives them the option to sign him permanently for a fee of around €24 million which could rise to €28 million, in bonuses.

So far, Chukwueze has made a place for himself in the heart of coach Marco Silva and is prepared to stay permanently at the club, but not for the price initially agreed between both parties.

Fulham want a deal for less than €24 million, but with bonuses that take them to that mark. A marked difference with what was agreed in the summer when he arrived on loan.

A deal is expected to be complicated, but not impossible, as Chuckwueze is interested in staying permanently with the London team, rather than returning to Milan, where he still has two more years left on his contract.
