Samuel Chukwueze and Yunus Musah left AC Milan on loan deals last summer, with buy-out options included. Fulham did not plan to exercise Chukwueze’s buy-out option, set at about €30m, ending the loan arrangement. Milan will need to reassess Chukwueze’s next move, with a return to Milanello expected to be temporary. Bologna has shown interest, but negotiations would require selling either Bernardeschi or Orsolini to create space and a coaching change, with Vincenzo Italiano linked to Napoli. Atalanta also will not exercise Musah’s buy-out option, worth around €20m. Musah’s loan ends after limited involvement, and his return to Milan is expected to be brief as his contract runs until 2028.
"Both players left Milan last summer on loan deals, to Fulham and Atalanta respectively. They each had quite high option to buy clauses inserted into them, but at various points in the season it has seemed possible they might be triggered. Now, the Rossoneri will have to re-evaluate their plans for Samuel Chukwueze and Yunus Musah, reports claim, as both will return to base."
"The story between Chukwueze and Fulham has come to an end, according to MilanVibes. In recent days, it has emerged that the English club did not wish to exercise the buy-out option, which was set at around €30m. Now, the Rossoneri will have to think about a new home for the Nigerian, whose return to Milanello is expected to be only temporary. His future looks to be far from Milan, but his performances in the Premier League have reportedly attracted the interest of Bologna."
"Bologna's interest could only turn into a concrete negotiation if two circumstances occur. Firstly, they would need to create space for Chukwueze by selling one of Bernardeschi or Orsolini. Secondly, a change in head coach would have to happen, with Vincenzo Italiano apparently close to Napoli. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Atalanta have no intention of exercising the buy-out for Musah either, which is worth around €20m."
"This ends an unmemorable experience with the Nerazzurri, which will be led by Maurizio Sarri next season. The American finished the season with 20 appearances, including just five starts (one goal, zero assists). His limited use perfectly captures a love affair that never blossomed under Ivan Juric or Raffaele Palladino. Musah's Milan contract expires in 2028, with his return also expected to be fleeting."
