Fulham to trigger €24m Chukwueze buy option from AC Milan?

Reports from Italy indicate that **Fulham FC** are poised to exercise their €24 million buy option for Nigerian international winger **Samuel Chukwueze** from **AC Milan** at the end of the current season, potentially securing the 26-year-old on a permanent basis following his impressive loan spell at Craven Cottage.

According to leading Italian outlet *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, AC Milan are increasingly confident that Fulham will trigger the purchase clause included in Chukwueze's loan deal, which sees the Premier League side pay approximately €24m to make the transfer permanent. The Rossoneri view the move as one of their most lucrative outgoing transactions this summer, contributing significantly to their projected windfall of nearly €70m from various loan returns.

Chukwueze, a key member of Nigeria's Super Eagles squad that secured bronze at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, joined Fulham on loan ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. Despite early setbacks including injuries and international commitments that caused him to miss several Premier League matches, the former Villarreal star has established himself as a regular starter. He has recorded three goals and four assists in limited appearances, showcasing his pace, dribbling, and creativity on the right flank.

With Fulham sitting 10th in the Premier League table and Chukwueze maintaining strong form in the second half of the season, sources close to Milan believe the Cottagers are leaning toward committing to the full transfer. The decision ultimately rests with Fulham, but the option provides a clear pathway for the London club to retain one of their standout performers without entering a new negotiation window.

Chukwueze's potential permanent move would mark a successful chapter for the player after a challenging stint in Serie A, where he struggled for consistent minutes at AC Milan following his high-profile €28m transfer from Villarreal in 2023. A return to the Premier League on a long-term deal could further elevate his profile on the global stage.

Neither Fulham nor AC Milan has issued an official comment on the reports at this time, with the situation expected to clarify closer to the end of the 2025/26 season.

US airstrikes in Nigeria is a blessing; we are expecting that there will be more – Remi Tinubu

Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has hailed the recent United States military airstrikes on Islamist militants in Sokoto State as a "blessing," emphasizing the nation's eagerness for enhanced security collaboration with the U.S. administration under President Donald Trump.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital during her recent week-long visit to Washington, D.C., Mrs. Tinubu described the Christmas Day operation—targeting terrorist groups in northwest Nigeria—as a welcome intervention amid ongoing efforts to combat insurgency and criminal activities plaguing the region. 

"The intervention of the U.S. was quite a welcome development," she stated. "It was quite a blessing." Highlighting Nigeria's commitment to strengthening ties, the First Lady added, "Nigeria is looking forward to collaboration with the US on security issues. We are expecting that there will be more."

The airstrikes, conducted on December 25, 2025, represent a significant step in international cooperation against terrorism in West Africa. Mrs. Tinubu's remarks underscore the Tinubu administration's openness to deeper partnerships, including intelligence sharing and joint operations, to address longstanding security challenges such as those posed by Boko Haram affiliates and armed bandits.

Her comments have garnered support from prominent figures, including former Senator Shehu Sani, who echoed the call for more targeted actions against threats in the North, stating that such interventions are crucial in the fight against "mass murderers, rapists, and kidnappers."

As Nigeria continues to prioritize national security and economic reforms, the First Lady's statements signal a proactive stance toward global alliances that bolster peace and stability in Africa's most populous nation.
