AC Milan in talks to sign this £100,000-per-week Chelsea player alongside Lukaku.

 AC Milan have long been hot on the pursuit of Chelsea flop Romelu Lukaku and it appears they are keen on adding one more player to their side. 

Lukaku totalled 23 Serie A goals across his spells at Inter and Roma, though, perhaps indicating the Italian top flight is his spiritual home. Before his move back to Chelsea three years ago, the striker's 24 goals and 11 assists propelled Inter to a 2021/22 Scudetto triumph under Antonio Conte, but his ties to the Nerazzurri haven't stopped Milan from taking a firm interest.

Indeed, Paulo Fonseca's side are believed to be in negotiations over signing Lukaku right now. Various reports from Italy this week, including Sky Italia, back Milan's interest in the former Everton star.

Newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport even claimed that Lukaku has given his green-light to join Milan. Meanwhile, Sky stated that Milan are in talks with Chelsea and pushing to seal a loan deal for Lukaku.

The Rossoneri and Chelsea have enjoyed a fruitful business relationship in recent years, with Olivier Giroud, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori all swapping Stamford Bridge for the San Siro since 2021.

Amid Milan's talks over Lukaku, it appears they want to prise away another Chelsea player as well, and add to their growing list of ex-Blues.

Sky Italia reporter and transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio says Carney Chukwuemeka is now a target for them.

Milan have opened talks to sign Chukwuemeka from Chelsea, according to Di Marzio, and they're attempting to agree a loan with the obligation to buy. The £100,000-per-week midfielder was signed from Aston Villa in a deal worth around £20 million in 2022, going on to make 27 appearances for the club since then.

The 20-year-old, despite not being given much of a chance since his transfer from the Midlands, has been praised for his quality - with Paul Merson even tipping him to be an "absolute star".

"He will be an absolute star," said Merson on Chukwuemeka during his time at Villa Park.

"He glides across the pitch. He is a nice size. He gets on the ball. He looks for it and makes runs without the ball. I think Villa fans going away will definitely be talking about him.”
