Transfer: AC Milan seeking alternative to Samuel Chukwueze

AC Milan are considering FC Midtjylland winger, Gustav Tang Isaksen, as an alternative to Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze.

Chukwueze was the Serie A club’s first choice, but there are a few issues with a potential deal for the player.

The Super Eagles’ star is a non-EU player, and Milan only have one spot left in the squad for someone without a European Union passport, having already signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea.

The 24-year-old’s LaLiga club, Villarreal have also refused to lower their asking price.

The Yellow Submarine are holding out for €30m despite the player having just
one year left to run on his contract.

With all that in mind, Milan are reportedly leaning towards going for Isaksen instead.

The Rooseneri will however battle Serie A rivals, Juventus for Isaksen.

Isaksen scored 22 goals and provided nine assists in 45 competitive games for Midtjylland last season.
