Italian Serie A side Milan are back in negotiation with Villarreal for Samuel Chukwueze.

According to European football transfer expert Nicolo Schira, talks are ongoing between both parties as the player is a prime target for head coach Stefano Pioli.​

“Talks in progress for Samuel Chukwueze to ACMilan from Villarreal. Coach Pioli considers him a priority and so Milan have currently put on standby the talks for Danjuma and Taremi to try to finalize the signing of the Nigerian winger,” He posted on Twitter.

The 24 year-old has just a year left on his contract with Villarreal, and is open to leaving the club this summer.

Villarreal values the player at €35m and Milan will hope to negotiate lower fee to sign the Nigerian international.
