Chukwueze joined Milan from Villarreal for a fee totalling €28m, including add-ons, in the summer of 2023, but has struggled to anil down a starting position in the line-up under Stefano Pioli, Paulo Fonseca and now Sergio Conceicao.

Though Conceicao is only two matches into his Rossoneri career, reports in Italy suggest he is prepared to let the Nigerian move on in order to make space in the squad and in the budget to bring in a different attacker.

As well as Chukwueze, Noah Okafor, who joined Milan in the same summer, could also be allowed to leave, while Calciomercato.it suggest that the club are also looking to sell centre-forward Luka Jovic.
