The Nigerian forward was courted by several clubs in Europe after a superb 2022/23 season that saw him reach double digits for both goals and assists.
Chukwueze spoke to AC Milan’s media team at his unveiling, spilling the tea on why he decided to sign for the Rossoneri despite having other suitors.
Osimhen crucial to Chukwueze decision
The new AC Milan winger revealed that it was an international teammate, Napoli’s Osimhen, who pushed him to make the move in a single conversation.
Chukwueze says he was told by Osimhen, “Samuel, Milan is the best club, don’t hesitate to sign for them. They are fantastic, the fans are amazing, they are crazy about football.”
The 24-year-old forward further noted, “He was a major role also in making me sign for AC Milan, as he said I should come to Italy.”
Osimhen and Chukwueze will go head to head for the 2023/24 Serie A title after Napoli claimed the title in 2023, and AC Milan claimed the Scudetto the season before.
