Trabzonspor Makes €15m Offer for Chukwueze

Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze might be on the move this summer. Turkish club Trabzonspor has reportedly made a €15m bid to AC Milan for the Nigerian star.

Trabzonspor is rebuilding their team for the 2026/27 season. They have already signed eight players and see Chukwueze as a key target to boost their right wing.

Reports from Turkey say that the former Villarreal player is high on the club's list. There are also talks about a deal that might include a mandatory buy if certain conditions are met.

Chukwueze's contract with AC Milan runs until 2028. Still, he has been linked with a move away after finding it hard to get regular playing time at the Serie A club. Last season, he was on loan at Fulham, where he scored three goals and provided four assists in 23 league games.

The Rossoneri signed him from Villarreal in 2023 for €21.1m. He had a great run in Spain, where he became one of La Liga's most exciting wingers after joining Villarreal from Nigeria in 2017.

Trabzonspor is getting ready for a tough season. They will compete in the Turkish Süper Lig, Turkish Cup, Turkish Super Cup, and the UEFA Europa League. They see Chukwueze as a valuable addition to strengthen their attack.

The club already has a good number of Nigerian players, including striker Paul Onuachu, defender Chibuike Nwaiwu, and winger Anthony Nwakaeme. Trabzonspor is also interested in another Nigerian forward, Rafiu Durosinmi.

Bringing in Chukwueze would boost their Nigerian presence and give the Turkish side another strong attacking option as they aim for success at home and in Europe.

So far, there is no agreement between the clubs. AC Milan has not publicly responded to the €15m offer. Talks are expected to continue in the next few days as Trabzonspor tries to secure the 27-year-old's services.
