MilanNews report that Chukwueze arrived in Italy today for the usual medical and fitness checks before signing his contract at Casa Milan. The Nigeria winger was among Milan’s top targets this Summer transfer window.
After weeks of negotiations between the two sides, it appears an agreement has been found, and the Nigerian winger is on his way to join the rest of the Milan team in their pre-season tour of the US.
He finally arrives from Villarreal on a permanent deal with a €20m fixed amount plus €8m in bonuses, plus a five-year contract worth €4m net per season.
Chukwueze’s number
Chukwueze reportedly picked the No.21 shirt since Milan’s new signing, Christian Pulisic, uses No.21.
The 24-year-old becomes Milan’s seventh major summer signing after securing deals for Marco Sportiello, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Romero, Christian Pulisic, Tijani Reijnders, and Noah Okafor.
Sandro Tonali’s €70m ($77m) move to Newcastle has given Milan more money to operate within the transfer market than has been the case in the past several seasons, and thus Moncada has been negotiating with multiple clubs for players.
