AC Milan are focused on strengthening their attack ahead of the upcoming season and they have Chelsea winger Noni Madueke as one of their main targets.
According to Fichajes, Madueke is one of the ‘most interesting solutions’ that the management are thinking about in view of the summer. Madueke joined Chelsea in January 2023 from PSV Eindhoven, and while he has shown glimpses of his quality, he has also had his ups and downs.
In 74 appearances for the Blues, he has scored 17 goals and provided seven assists, numbers that show his potential. However, he has so far failed to establish a permanent place in the team, due to his inconsistency but also the sheer number of other forwards in the Chelsea squad.
Milan are interested in him because they are thinking about Rafael Leão’s situation. The Portuguese has been linked with several teams such as PSG and Chelsea themselves, which has made the Rossoneri look for options in the market.
Madueke, with his speed, dribbling and ability to play on both flanks, fits the bill. Furthermore, his experience in the Premier League makes him an attractive option for Milan, who have bought players like Christian Pulisic while they were under-valued and turned them into key squad members.
Milan are confident they can negotiate a transfer fee of around €40m to sign Madueke, even if Chelsea are not pressured to sell. Any move, it seems, depends on what happens with Leao.
