Super Eagles’ Samuel Chukwueze’s AC Milan career may be far from over after new head coach Ruben Amorim suggested the Super Eagles winger remains firmly in his plans ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The Nigerian international had been widely tipped to leave the San Siro this summer following a loan spell at Fulham, but Amorim’s latest comments have opened the door for the 27-year-old to revive his fortunes with the Rossoneri.

Chukwueze spent the 2025/26 campaign on loan in the Premier League, contributing three goals and four assists in 23 appearances for Fulham.

Despite his impressive flashes of brilliance, the London club opted against triggering the €26 million option to make the move permanent, sending the winger back to Milan for pre-season amid growing uncertainty over his future.

However, speaking at his first pre-season press conference, Amorim made it clear that every player will be given the opportunity to prove themselves before any decisions are taken on departures.
