Samuel Chukwueze’s time in Milan is approaching its end

Samuel Chukwueze stayed at the bank once again when AC Milan surpassed Genoa 2-1 in his clash from the series to Monday night, continuing a frustrating spell on the sidelines for the Nigerian international.

The 25 -year -old now has lost action in the last three games of Milan, with his last appearance on April 20 in a defeat against Atalanta.

That game scored its 23rd appearance in the highest Italian category this season, in which it has achieved only three goals.

The expectations were high when Chukwueze arrived in San Siro from Villarreal in the summer of 2023.

Milan saw him as a possible change of play, a direct and rich end that could inject fresh energy into his attack. However, things have not gone according to the plan.

A combination of injuries, tactical inconsistencies and limited opportunities have hindered Chukwueze’s progress. Despite the occasional sparkles of brightness, the former star of the League has fought to consolidate a regular place.

Monday’s victory leaves Milan sitting in the ninth place at 57 points, far from his usual European ambitions.

With the qualification of the Champions League now out of reach, the club is preparing for an important summer reconstruction and Chukwueze seems to be one of the victims.

According to Milan News reports, the club considers that Chukwueze’s two -year spell is disappointing and is preparing to download it as part of a broader financial restart.

The departure described it as a “bitter disappointment”, which suggests that Milan is anxious to recover some of the 20 million euros they spent on it.

For Chukwueze, who is still a key figure for the Nigerian national team, the perspective of a new beginning can be welcome.

The sources close to the player indicate that he expects a movement in which he can enjoy more consistent minutes and return to the way he once made one of the most exciting young ends in Europe.

As the summer transfer window is approaching, both the player and the club seem ready to go on separate roads, a movement that could relive Chukwueze’s career and help Milan restart for the 2025/26 season.
