Samuel Chukwueze’s time with AC Milan may be nearing its end, as the 19-time Serie A champions consider selling the Nigerian winger to generate funds for a high-profile addition to their attack. Chukwueze, who joined Milan from Villarreal, has contributed four goals and four assists over 43 appearances but could be sacrificed to balance the club’s finances and enable a potential transfer for Manchester United’s underperforming winger, Antony.

Sources from SempreMilan suggest that Milan is aiming to make room for the Brazilian, whom ex-United manager Erik ten Hag reportedly approved for departure in the upcoming January transfer window.

With interest in Chukwueze from Premier League clubs like Aston Villa, Fulham, Wolverhampton, and West Ham, Milan may be well-positioned to secure a suitable offer that would allow them to strengthen their squad.

Aston Villa is believed to have a special interest in Chukwueze due to his strong connection with their manager Unai Emery from their time at Villarreal. If the sale proceeds, Milan will likely ramp up efforts to bring Antony to the San Siro, facing potential competition from Juventus.
