According to Sky Sport Italia, Serie A giants AC Milan are still interested in signing Samuel Chukwueze this summer.
The Rooseneri are looking for a right-sided winger and regard the Nigerian as a viable option.
Chukwueze has one year left on his Villarreal contract and is unwilling to sign an extension.
Villarreal are willing to let him go, but his huge buyout clause could be a sticking issue until they can reach an agreement with AC Milan on the transfer money.
Aston Villa and Newcastle United, both Premier League clubs, have been linked with the 24-year-old.
In the 2022/23 season, the winger scored 13 goals and assisted on 11 others for Villarreal.
