Italy-based Super Eagles winger Chukwueze returns to Milan for make-or-break season

Nigeria Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze has returned to Italy to begin preseason training with Serie A giants AC Milan.

Ahead of the new season, Chukwueze will be determined to bounce back after a challenging campaign and prove his worth in what could be a defining season for his career.

Following a holiday spent in Nigeria, the 26-year-old was spotted rejoining his teammates as AC Milan kicked off their preseason preparations.

Last season proved testing for Chukwueze, who struggled for regular game time, starting just nine Serie A matches and contributing five goals and assists.

The former Villarreal star is still working to convince the Milan faithful of his value amid ongoing speculation about his future at the club.

Despite the pressure, Chukwueze appears to have settled in well during preseason. He was seen enjoying a lighthearted moment alongside Portuguese star Rafael Leao, singing Burnaboy’s hit “Bundle by Bundle” in a video shared from the training camp.

This bond and positive energy could be key as Chukwueze aims to make a strong impression and secure a more prominent role in AC Milan’s squad this season.

As the new campaign approaches, all eyes will be on Chukwueze to see if he can turn around last season’s struggles and establish himself as a vital attacking force for both club and country.

Meanwhile, Reports suggest AC Milan may look to offload the Nigerian this summer, but hints on social media show that he prefers to stay at San Siro.

As reported by Pulse Sports Nigeria, Chukwueze recently posted on Instagram wearing a classic Rossoneri shirt, accompanied by red and black heart emojis, signaling his attachment to the club.

The post was liked by teammates Rafael Leao and Anglo-Nigerian defender Fikayo Tomori.
