– Samuel Chukwueze has been reportedly targeted
by Barcelona if they fail to sign Neymar
– The Nigerian international currently has a €63m
release clause on his current deal with Villarreal
– Chukwueze has scored two goals in seven
appearances for Villarreal in the current campaign
Samuel Chukwueze has become the latest transfer
target for Barcelona if they fail to land Neymar
from Paris Saint-Germain in January, reports claim.
According to Gol Digital, the Spanish champions
are interested in signing the Villarreal winger to
bolster their squad if they fail to get Neymar.
La Blaugrana have been on the heels of re-signing
the Brazilian attacker from PSG since the last
transfer window and the Camp Nou outfit are
looking to bring in a new replacement.
And with Ousmane Dembele struggling with injuries
and form since his summer move from Dortmund
in 2017, Chukwueze looks like the right candidate
to fill in the void.
Villarreal recently placed a massive €63million
buy-out clause on the Nigerian’s contract which is
a cheaper alternative to Neymar.
The 20-year-old made his mark for the Yellow
Submarines in the 2018-19 season and went on to
consolidate his performance with the Super Eagles
at AFCON 2019 tournament.
