Samuel Chukwueze’s Premier League resurgence is doing far more than lifting Fulham — it’s sending shockwaves all the way to Italy.
After months of inconsistency in Serie A last season, the Super Eagles winger has rediscovered his spark in England, and AC Milan are suddenly positioned for a mega cash windfall that could exceed ₦50.5 billion if Fulham activate his summer buy clause.
And right now, that option is looking more realistic every week.
The moment Chukwueze scored his electrifying brace in Fulham’s 5–4 blockbuster against Manchester City, the mood in Milan shifted.
The winger, on loan from AC Milan, didn’t just score — he took over the game, showcasing the speed, flair, and fearlessness that once made him one of La Liga’s most exciting attackers.
For the Rossoneri, that performance was more than a highlight.
It was a sign that Fulham may have no choice but to activate the €30 million purchase clause inserted into the loan deal.
Considering Milan paid just over €20m to sign him in 2023, this sudden U-turn in form could give the club a significant profit and much-needed summer transfer ammunition.
While Milan are counting the potential profit, Marco Silva is counting lost time.
The Fulham boss has openly admitted that Chukwueze’s late arrival in the transfer window denied him the chance to settle early, build chemistry, and fully integrate into the squad.
Signed on deadline day, Chukwueze spent the first stretch of the season adapting — watching from the bench, learning the system, and easing his way into English football’s pace.
Silva recently said:
“Very happy with him. It was a matter of time. We need him at his best level, performance-wise and physically… I would have preferred to have had Chukwueze earlier, in pre-season.”
That regret hit even harder after the Manchester City thriller, where Chukwueze came off the bench and almost inspired a miracle comeback.
Fulham have found a match-winner who changes games instantly.
Chukwueze has rediscovered the confidence and sharpness that made him a top European prospect.
AC Milan stand to pocket a huge fee for a player who never fully flourished at San Siro.
If the winger maintains this form, Fulham triggering the buy clause becomes less of a question — and more of an inevitability.
