(Football news) The agreement of terms between the clubs and the player effectively completes the transfer. It was anticipated that the last-minute issues would be resolved today and contracts would be exchanged, and it still appears that this is the plan.

The only issues left, according to the most recent reports this evening, are straightforward administrative issues. The 24-year-old is a Nigerian national, therefore because he lacks an EU passport, the transfer is a little more difficult in terms of paperwork.

At the end of the current season, his contract with Villarreal was set to expire. It is thought that a deal was reached for €20 million, with an additional €8 million in various performance-based bonuses. The latest addition to Milan’s assault alongside Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor, Chukwueze is about to sign a five-year contract.

Sandro Tonali was sold to Newcastle United during the first month of the summer transfer window, and Christian Pulisic, Luka Romero, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Marco Sportiello, Noah Okafor, and Tijani Reijnders were all acquired by the Rossoneri.

As their final non-EU player, Nigerian winger Chukwueze will now be signed by Milan as their seventh acquisition of the summer. The team is still anticipated to sign a new left back and perhaps another player the winger will travel to the city of Lombardy to finish off his medical and sign his five-year contract.

Chukwueze will cost Villarreal about €28 million in total from Milan, which is €7 million less than the initial €35 million asking price. In a seemingly unrelated transfer, Matteo Gabbia will go the other way and play on loan for the Spanish team.
