Samuel Chukwueze's representatives are actively working to secure him a return to Spanish football before the summer transfer window closes.
The 27-year-old has returned to AC Milan after spending last season on loan at Premier League club Fulham, but he remains determined to fight for his place at the San Siro under new coach Ruben Amorim.
Although the Super Eagles star showed flashes of his quality in England, Fulham decided not to activate the option to sign him permanently, sending him back to Milan ahead of the new campaign.
While Chukwueze has featured prominently in pre-season and is hoping to convince Amorim of his value, his camp has shifted its attention to Spain, where he enjoyed the best football of his career with Villarreal, according to Fichajes.
According to the outlet, his representatives have already approached several La Liga clubs, with Real Betis and Celta Vigo among his known, long-term admirers.
AC Milan are willing to listen to offers, but the Italian giants are not prepared to let the Nigerian leave cheaply. The Rossoneri prefer a permanent sale but insist interested clubs must meet their valuation, making negotiations far from straightforward.
Amorim has also underlined Chukwueze's importance to the squad since taking over, particularly because of the winger's ability to take on defenders one-on-one.
"There are some players who weren't here last year. Chukwueze is staying with us; we need players who can play one-on-one," Amorim said, via SempreMilan.
Chukwueze spent six seasons at Villarreal, making 207 senior appearances, scoring 37 goals and establishing himself as one of the top wingers in La Liga. In league action alone, he registered 155 appearances, 21 goals and 14 assists.
His biggest achievement came on Europe's biggest stage. During the 2020/21 campaign under Unai Emery, he helped Villarreal lift the UEFA Europa League for the first time in the club's history after they defeated Manchester United on penalties in Gdańsk.
