Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze could be on his way to the Premier League in a deal valued at around €80 million this summer.
The
22-year-old winger was impressive for Villarreal this season – scoring five
goals and assisting eight others in 40 appearances.
He has also
been inspirational for the Yellow Submarines as they set up a date with Manchester
United in the final of the Europa League this weekend.
Sources however reveal that the
former youth international has been in contact with top EPL clubs while others
from elite European leagues are also interested in him.
According to CaughtOffside and
Give Me Sport, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are battling for the
attacker’s signature.
The source revealed that
Chukwueze is ‘happy’ at his current club, he would ‘definitely consider’
leaving as long as the right opportunity comes that makes sense for him and the
club.
Meanwhile, with an €80 million
release clause attached to his current deal which expires in 2023, Villarreal
may not entertain any offer lesser than that for the enterprising youngster.
Reports claim Liverpool might
be planning to replace Sadio Mane with the Nigeria international while he could
take the place of Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi at
Chelsea.
The Villarreal of Spain winger
also flashed an exotic Mercedes Benz C300 car worth between N140million and
N160million.
This ride is designed
specifically for sports stars and is acclaimed for its sporting soul,
impeccably detailed cabin and class-leading innovation.
