According to the latest report of the authoritative Italian soccer media "Football Market", AC Milan Football Club still maintains a strong interest in Chelsea's young midfielder Chukwuemeka. The 20-year-old English starlet's rise in Chelsea's momentum has not yet been fully demonstrated, but his potential and talent has already attracted the attention of a number of giants, AC Milan is one of them.
Chukwuemeka joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022 for a transfer fee of €18 million, becoming an important part of the Blues' future plans. However, he didn't get much of a chance to play last season, making only 12 appearances for the team, including two starts, but even so, he showed a decent attacking ability, contributing two goals and an assist.
It is worth noting that Chukwuemeka's current contract with Chelsea contains a release clause of up to £40 million (€47 million). However, Football Market suggests that Chelsea may consider accepting an offer below that figure, providing some room for negotiation for clubs interested in bringing in Chukwuemeka.
AC Milan, as a traditional powerhouse in Italian football, has always emphasized on the introduction and development of young talents. The fact that they are once again looking at Chukwuemeka is undoubtedly a recognition of the young midfielder's ability. As the transfer market heats up, the transfer negotiations between AC Milan and Chelsea for Chukwuemeka may also enter a substantive stage.
