Spanish LaLiga side Real Betis have failed with a bid to sign Nigeria international winger Samuel Chukwueze from Italian side AC Milan, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
Chukwueze has been told he is free to leave the club in the summer transfer window, but AC Milan wants to recoup a substantial amount from the fees that was paid to Villarreal for his singing two summers ago.
Real Betis who have identified the Nigerian as a replacement for Antony who is set to return back to Manchester United have already started talks on his singing, but are not anywhere close to the valuation of AC Milan.
Milan are demanding for a fee in the region of around €15m excluding add-ons with the aim of making up on the €21.1m plus up to €7m in add-ons they paid to sign him from Villarreal in 2023.
