Why I rejected lucrative Saudi offer — Chukwueze

Samuel Chukwueze, a winger for Nigeria, has explained why he turned down a summertime transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Several Asian clubs made approaches to Chukwueze following the conclusion of the 2022–2023 season.

The 25-year-old made a plea to his manager, but he ultimately chose not to accept the alluring offer.

Rather than staying with La Liga team Villarreal for five years, the gifted winger moved to AC Milan, one of the biggest teams in Serie A.

“If money were a problem, I would have signed in Saudi Arabia. They wanted me a year ago,” the 25-year-old was quoted by Football Italia.

” My mind was set only on Milan. My agent told me, ‘Hey, look, there’s this money…’ But I said no: ‘I don’t want to go anywhere else.’

“So he gave up. If that money comes, it comes. The most important thing now is to believe in myself; I’m still young, I want to make it, I need to stay in Europe.”

Chukwueze scored one goal for AC Milan in 24 league games during the previous season.
