AC Milan are preparing for a major overhaul ahead of the 2025-26 season, and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, one of the prominent names expected to depart is Samuel Chukwueze.
The Nigerian winger, who arrived from Villarreal less than two seasons ago, has struggled to establish himself in Milan due to injuries and limited playing time. This lack of consistency has left his future at the club uncertain.
During his time in Spain with the Yellow Submarine, the Nigerian was in impeccable form helping the club to a Europa League victory but since his move to Italy, the Nigerian has been unable to replicate the same form and, as a result, Milan are reportedly willing to listen to offers that would allow the player to seek a fresh start elsewhere.
Chukwueze has made 32 appearances in all competitions for Milan this season from a possible 46 matches. He has started only 11 of those games and accumulated a total of 1,214 minutes on the pitch, missing 2,926 minutes of competitive action.
In terms of end product, he has scored five goals and provided one assist.
Of his 32 outings, 21 came from the bench, underlining his marginalised role in the squad. He has averaged a goal every 242.8 minutes, with his most notable performance coming in a domestic cup tie against Sassuolo where he registered a brace.
However, over the course of the campaign, he has managed only 13 shots on target and completed fewer than 40 successful dribbles.
These numbers fall short of expectations for a player once heralded as one of the most exciting wingers in European football during his time in Spain.
