Nigerian football icon Mutiu Adepoju has sent a strong message to Samuel Chukwueze: don’t give up on AC Milan just yet.
Chukwueze, who made a high-profile move from Villarreal to the Italian giants in 2023, has struggled for consistent minutes on the pitch. With rumors swirling about a possible summer exit, the pressure is mounting.
But Adepoju believes leaving now could backfire.
“Chukwueze hasn’t had a solid run at Milan, but walking away now might only lead to the same challenges elsewhere,” Adepoju told RG.

“He needs to focus, earn his spot, and push through. That’s the only way to grow.”
