Fulham are stepping up their efforts to secure the permanent signing of Samuel Chukwueze following his impressive loan spell from AC Milan, Footynaija reports.
Talks have now begun between the two clubs, with the Premier League side keen to turn a successful short-term move into a long-term deal, according to Calciomercato.
The 26-year-old winger has rediscovered his best form since arriving in England. After struggling for consistency in Italy, he has looked sharper, more direct, and full of confidence in a Fulham shirt. His ability to take on defenders and create chances has quickly made him an important part of the team.
One moment that stood out came in December, when Chukwueze scored twice against Manchester City. That performance not only showed his quality but also convinced Fulham’s decision-makers that he could play a key role in the club’s future.

Off the pitch, he has settled well. The presence of fellow Nigerians Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey has helped him adapt quickly to life in London, and that comfort has been reflected in his performances.
Reports suggest Fulham are ready to activate the purchase option included in the loan agreement. While no official bid has been confirmed yet, the club’s intentions are clear. The deal is believed to be worth around €24 million, with possible add-ons increasing the final fee.
Chukwueze is also understood to be open to staying. Regular playing time and a system that suits his strengths have given him stability, something he lacked during his time in Serie A.
Also, selling the winger could make financial sense for Milan, especially given the competition for places, including from Christian Pulisic.
If Fulham formalise their approach, negotiations are expected to move quickly.
