Napoli, the reigning champions of Serie A, have set their sights on the talented Nigerian winger, Samuel Chukwueze, who has been attracting attention with his impressive performances for LaLiga club Villarreal last season.
Chukwueze’s outstanding displays on the field have not gone unnoticed, and the 24-year-old has been the subject of interest from several clubs, including Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and AC Milan.
Although AC Milan had displayed a strong desire to secure the player’s services in recent weeks, they have been deterred by Villarreal’s hefty asking price. However, Napoli has now emerged as a new contender in the race to sign the highly sought-after Nigeria international, as confirmed by Italian transfer expert Rudy Galetti.
Villarreal, keen to part ways with the speedy winger, has set a price tag of approximately €30 million for his transfer. Chukwueze, who joined Villarreal from Diamond Football Academy in 2019, has been a valuable asset to the Spanish club.
As the transfer speculation surrounding Samuel Chukwueze intensifies, Napoli’s interest adds a new twist to the saga. With their status as Serie A champions, Napoli presents an enticing option for the talented winger as he weighs his potential next move in his promising career.
