Chelsea-Linked Winger Chukwueze Could Cost Interested Clubs N31.5B
Published: December 17, 2019
Chelsea are one of the English Premier League clubs linked with a move for Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze.
The Blues are reportedly in the market for a winger and are looking to bring former Manchester City wonderkid Jadon Sancho back to England.
Other names mentioned as alternatives to the Borussia Dortmund star are Chukwueze, Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) and Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen).
According to Spanish sports daily Marca, Chukwueze's current buyout clause stands at 60 million euros, but Villarreal want to increase that to 80 million euros (N31.5 billion) as part of a contract extension.
The Yellow Submarine signed the Nigeria Young Player of the Year from Diamond Academy for 500,000 euros.
Chukwueze has made sixteen appearances for Villarreal this season in La Liga, scoring three goals and adding two assists, while he now has twelve caps for the Super Eagles, a year after he debuted in a friendly against Uganda.
