Samuel Chukwueze has weighed in on the conversation surrounding Victor Osimhen's future.

The reigning African Footballer of the Year is expected to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium this summer, despite extending his deal with the club last December.

Osimhen has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea reportedly interested in his signature.

Paris Saint-Germain also entered the fray in recent times, with reports indicating that the French champions have agreed on personal terms with the Nigerian international.

Currently, Osimhen's future still remains uncertain as the Nigerian international's potential move from the former Serie A champions appears to have stalled.

His Super Eagles teammate Samuel Chukwueze has however expressed his desire to see him at AC Milan.

Speaking on Osimhen's future with Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Villarrea man disclosed that he has spoken to Osimhen about joining the Rossoneri.

“I would like to close my eyes, open them again, and see him here at Milan. I always say to him: ‘Are you sure you don’t want to come?’ And he says: ‘Samuel, you know it’s difficult…’” Chukwueze said, as quoted by Pianetamilan.

With Chelsea completing the signing of Athletico Madrid's Samu Omorodion, it appears that PSG and Saudi Arabian clubs remain the only possible transfer options for Osimhen.
