DEAL CLOSE – Chelsea Man Okays AC Milan Move After Being Overlooked By Enzo Maresca

2 min read

Italian giants, AC Milan could be about to sign another player from Chelsea after bringing in the likes of Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Stamford Bridge.

AC Milan signed both Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea last year, and the former has since gone on to become one of their key players.

The Italian outfit are now in close talks to lure Chelsea Midfielder, Chukwuemeka to join the Rossoneri in the winter transfer window.

The former Aston Villa Midfielder who was an important player for Chelsea first team squad last season under Pochettino, has struggled for game time this season.

In fact, Chelsea new manager Maresca has not used him once in the English top flight this season as he prefers power house like Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer Moises Caicedo and Lavia as the first team Midfielders. 

Meanwhile, he now looks set for an exit in January, with Calciomercato claiming that the 21-year-old has already said yes to joining Milan.

It is thought that Chukwuemeka has a £40m release clause in his contract, but Calciomercato’s report says Milan want to sign the player on loan with an option to buy.

According to reports, Scottish champions, Celtic are also interested in the former Aston Villa player and are actually in pole position for his signature.

Whether it is Celtic or Milan, Chukwuemeka just needs to find another club for the second half of the season.

Right now, he is not going to get into either Chelsea’s midfield or attack. It is a bit disappointing, as Chukwuemeka is a footballer with a lot of talent at 21, but it goes to show just how incredible this Chelsea squad really is.
