Milan aware of Fulham's plan for Chukwueze
Calciomercato have a short report on where the winger will play beyond this season.
His form convinces Silva's side to make an effort to retain him. Therefore, Fulham have communicated to Milan of wanting to exercising the purchase clause. In other words, the 26-year-old will leave the San Siro permanently in the summer.
Gazzetta dello Sport back that up and provide more on Fulham's desire to hold on to the player.
His performances this season have seen other English clubs show interest. In short, he has several options to continue in the Premier League. The London club, who seem to be aware of this, are convinced of Samuel Chukwueze's displays.
Therefore, Fulham have now 'announced their intention' to AC Milan of wanting to exercise his purchase clause. This could have been done to avoid competition from other unnamed Premier League side(s).
Gazzetta state the clause will allow the Rossoneri to earn €24m plus save on his €4m net per year salary. The fee raised from his sale is needed for Milan to improve their squad in the summer. Meanwhile, Fulham would also be a good option for Chukwueze.
Nigerian's contract, value and agent info

Man United add Antonee Robinson to transfer shortlist as Liverpool back out of raceManchester United have added Fulham's Antonee Robinson to their shortlist of left-back targets for this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Red Devils are in the market for an addition on the left side of their defence, and the 28-year-old is one of a number of candidates who are likely to be considered ahead of next season.
Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the American in recent weeks, but sources have now indicated that he is seen as being too old to fit in with their current transfer model.
Robinson is understood to be content at Craven Cottage at the moment, and Fulham would not consider selling him on the cheap in the upcoming window.
Man United's transfer plans have seen him identified as a target to come in and bolster their defence, but they are also aware that Fulham have stood in the way of him moving on before.
Man United ready to finally secure Antonee Robinson dealRobinson has been one of the Premier League's hottest properties outside the established 'top six' in recent seasons, but a move to one of England's elite clubs has eluded him so far in his career.
The defender is now into his sixth full season at Fulham, and he caught the eye as one of the top-flight's strongest creators last term, as he ended the campaign with 10 league assists to his name.
| Stats | Antonee Robinson | Luke Shaw |
| Apps | 15 | 31 |
| G/A | - | 1 |
| Successful Passes per 90 | 37.4 | 43.9 |
| Chances Created per 90 | 1.46 | 0.51 |
| Duels Won per 90 | 4.82 | 4.42 |
| Tackles per 90 | 2.76 | 2.06 |
Robinson's 2025-26 Premier League stats compared to Shaw's, as per Fotmob.He has endured an injury-hit season this time around and is still waiting for his first goal contribution of the campaign.
However, that hasn't stopped United from showing an interest in him once again, as they bid to try and strengthen their depth in the left-back slot, which has become something of a problem area for them.
Michael Carrick has preferred to use Patrick Dorgu in a more advanced left-wing role of late, and with Tyrell Malacia out of contract at the end of the season, Luke Shaw looks set to be left as the only senior option in that position.
Robinson is a clear candidate to step into Old Trafford ahead of next season, but it remains to be seen exactly how difficult Fulham will make it for a deal to be struck.
Lisandro Martinez's future in question Former United chief scout Mick Brown recently told Football Insider that Lisandro Martinez's future at United may be called into question this summer, amid ongoing concerns over his injury record.
The Argentine has started just nine Premier League games amid consistent injury problems this term, and the club's former recruitment boss believes that will have put a question mark over his long-term future.
Brown insisted that it is no good for his former club if Martinez is only able to play a handful of games on each occasion before breaking down again.
He added that they need players who can be relied upon at the heart of their defence, and with the 28-year-old's lack of availability, it could spell the beginning of the end for him at Old Trafford.

Wilson: I was delighted
Harry Wilson started his 29th birthday celebrations early on Saturday – scoring in Fulham's 3-1 win over Burnley at Craven Cottage.
The Whites had fallen behind after a goalless first half, but Josh King's first Premier League goal levelled things up, setting the stage for Wilson to fire home a trademark strike.
Raúl Jiménez added a third from the penalty spot late on, as Marco Silva's men picked up all three points.
"It was a big win," the winger said, speaking post-match. "We've been disappointed with our performances in the last couple of games, so we knew we needed a reaction today.
"It's not easy sometimes when teams play deep, and we couldn't break them down in the first half.
"Then we went behind and it would have been easy for us to lose that game, but I think the boys reacted well. Obviously, Kingy got his goal and that set us on our way to get another good win."
Our number eight had looked dangerous throughout an otherwise low-key opening 45, testing his range with pair of efforts from distance.
"I had a couple of sighters in the first half. I thought they defended well but we knew if we kept the ball moving, gaps would appear and Kingy's goal really settled us down.
"As the game goes on, it gets a bit more stretched and I was just waiting for the ball to come to me.
"I think Rodrigo (Muniz) makes a good run, I was able to cut inside, and I think it might have gone through a couple of players' legs – but I was delighted to see it go in."
Wilson has now notched 11 goals and seven assists this season, continuing his excellent campaign.
"As an attacker, you're judged on your numbers and this season mine have been good. It's something that I pride myself on, my goals and assists.
"it's really nice to get to double figures. There's a few games left so I'll be hoping to build on that as well."
With the Premier League now paused for an international break, the Wales international now turns his attention to an important World Cup Qualifying play-off on Thursday.
"We know what we've got to do. It's a massive game against Bosnia – then if we win that, it will be the winner of Northern Ireland and Italy.
"The goal is to get to the World Cup, and myself and all the team will be doing everything we can to do that."

Fulham's £32m move for PSV Eindhoven star collapses despite striker agreeing five-year deal and travelling for medical
PSV Eindhoven technical director Ernest Stewart has confirmed the proposed £32million sale of Ricardo Pepi to Fulham has fallen through because the clubs could not agree over when 'responsibility for the player would be transferred'.
Pepi travelled to London last Thursday for a medical after the clubs agreed a fee in principle for the striker's transfer in the summer.
The USA international then returned to PSV to face Telstar at the weekend and finish the season there.
However, the clubs could not agree on the finer details which encompassed what would happen if the player got injured.
Speaking to ESPN Netherlands, Stewart said: 'We were, of course, already in talks with Fulham during the winter break when they came just before the transfer window closed.
'We couldn't bring in a replacement anymore, so at that moment, the transfer couldn't go through. But a week later we got back in talks and the process got underway.
'That responsibility for the player was a very important detail that always played a role. And while we did get a bit closer to each other in that regard, ultimately, we remained too far apart.
'Ricardo really wanted this. It is an unpleasant situation, especially for Ricardo. We are, of course, happy that we are retaining a good striker.'
Fulham retain an interest and are likely to revisit the deal in the summer prior to Pepi linking up with the USA squad for the World Cup.
Everton and West Ham have also shown interest in the 23-year-old.

Fulham set to seal permanent transfer for 26-year-old with deal 'close'
Fulham are expected to seal a full-time swoop for the attacker ahead of next season
Fulham are set to sign Samuel Chukwueze on a permanent basis from AC Milan this summer with a deal 'close', according to Italian news outlet CalcioMercato. The winger has spent this season on loan with the Premier League side. He has made a largely positive impression at Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva's side are sat in 9th place in the table. They saw off Burnley 3-1 at home last time out. Josh King, Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez got their goals against the Clarets.
Fulham poised to sign Samuel Chukwueze on permanent basis
Fulham landed Chukwueze on a temporary basis last year. He was brought in by the London outfit to bolster their attacking department. The Nigeria international, who has 56 caps to his name, has since given them more competition and depth at the top end of the pitch.
The 26-year-old made his name in Spain at Villarreal and broke into their first-team as a youngster. He went on to make 207 appearances for the La Liga club in all competitions and scored 37 goals. AC Milan then came calling for his signature in 2023 and he has since found the net on eight occasions in 69 outings for the Serie A giants.
They then gave him the green light to link up with Fulham and he has since been in and out of the Whites' starting XI. He has fired three league goals in 19 games. Nevertheless, Silva appears keen on securing his signature full-time ahead of the next campaign.
After signing for the Cottagers, Chukwueze said at the time: "I'm so happy to be here. It's an amazing club. It feels like home, because I have my people around me. I feel at home already, and I can't wait to get started."
Tony Khan added: "I'm thrilled to welcome Samuel Chukwueze to Fulham! He is an explosive athlete and tremendous talent, who has gained valuable playing experience in Europe with Milan and in international competition for Nigeria. He is joining us on a season-long loan with a permanent option, and we are very excited to have him at the Club! Come on Fulham!"

Exclusive: Aston Villa hold further talks to sign Fulham star Harry Wilson
Aston Villa have held further talks with the representatives of Harry Wilson as they continue their pursuit of the Fulham star, FootballTransfers has been informed.
The Wales international is approaching the end of his current contract at Craven Cottage and, as things stand, he will be available on a Bosman deal in July.
Fulham are unsurprisingly desperate to tie the 29-year-old down to a new deal, however he has several suitors in the Premier League following a blistering campaign in which he has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 29 English top flight appearances.
We have been told that Aston Villa have offered Wilson a three-year contract with a very attractive salary, and discussions are ongoing ahead of a potential move to the Birmingham outfit during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Villa have identified the 29-year-old as one of their top transfer targets for this summer and although an agreement has not yet been reached, FootballTransfers understands that further talks have taken place in recent days, with Unai Emery's side keen to finalise a deal shortly.
Exclusive: Aston Villa in Harry Wilson talks
Wilson has been one of the standout players in the entirety of the Premier League this season, and he appears ideally suited to playing as a right midfielder or a No.10 in Emery's preferred system at Villa Park.
The Wales international was also on Aston Villa's transfer radar during the recent January window, however Fulham were reluctant to sanction a sale and they eventually opted to bolster their centre forward ranks with the signing of Tammy Abraham instead.
Everton and Wrexham have been linked with a move for Wilson in recent weeks too, as they eye a high-profile Bosman deal, although Villa are determined to win the race for his signature and could be able to offer him Champions League football if they enjoy a successful end to the season.

£20m is a shrewd bit of business. I know his form tailed off a bit, but he's more than shown plenty of quality. Can see him getting even better next season.

Don't forget he lost his mum? And didn't play much in afcon despite doing well when he did, so a couple of relatively big things he had to bounce back from. He's been great when back at it properly
