Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr are believed to be plotting a last-minute hijack  of    Nigeria and Villareal player, Samuel Chukwueze, from switching to AC Milan this summer. 

Chukwueze’s move to San Siro is already on the brink but the Saudi wave is about to take the Super Eagles  player to the Saudi Pro League which could make him the highest paid Nigerian player abroad. 

Accoridng to Italian media, Rudy Galeti, the Saudi Arabian side want to hijack the transfer. 

The Saudi Arabian league has witnessed an influx of players from Europe as they have pumped a lot of money into players transfer this summer window.

The 24-year-old Chukwueze had a decent campaign with Villarreal last season, registering 13 goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances. 

His displays attracted some top clubs in Europe, with Real Madrid, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle getting linked with him.

However, AC Milan have emerged as the frontrunners to sign the Nigerian winger, with talks suggesting that they have already agreed on personal terms with Chukwueze.

The Rossoneri have also agreed on a fee of around €28million with Villarreal for Chukwueze, but they are yet to complete the transfer process.

To steal Chukwueze from AC Milan’s grasp, they would need to increase whatever the Serie A side has brought to the table. 

Chukwueze could even become the highest-paid Nigerian player. Still, the final decision would lie in the Nigeria international’s choice. 

If Al Nassr manage to pull it off, Chukwueze would be united with Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo and former Inter Milan star Marcelo Brozovic.
