AC Milan have identified Belgian forward Cyril Ngonge as a potential replacement for Samuel Chukwueze, who has been linked with a possible move to Saudi Arabia in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Chukwueze, who joined the Rossoneri in 2023, has faced challenges adapting to Serie A, managing only two goals and three assists in 41 league appearances.
The Nigerian international has reportedly attracted interest from Saudi clubs, though no formal discussions have been confirmed yet.
Negotiations between AC Milan and the Saudi club are expected to progress in the coming days, raising the likelihood of Chukwueze’s departure.
Amidst this uncertainty, AC Milan have turned their attention to Cyril Ngonge, currently with Napoli, as a possible reinforcement.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Napoli are open to a loan deal for Ngonge with an option to buy, valuing the player at approximately 19 million euros, a figure close to what they paid for him a year ago.
Milan view Ngonge as a player capable of significantly boosting their squad depth and performance should Chukwueze leave the club.
The Rossoneri remain focused on fortifying their attacking options as they aim to remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
