Villarreal’s Nigerian striker, one step away from the English team, to which he would arrive on loan with a mandatory purchase option of 45 million.
24 hours after the closing of the transfer market, Villarreal is about to close the departure of Samu Chukwueze to Everton in England. The 23-year-old Nigerian striker would join Liverpool’s ‘blue’ team on loan, although with a mandatory purchase option of 45 million euros.
The departure of Chukwueze from Ceramics would be one of the unexpected news of the final stretch of the winter market since Everton’s interest did not reach the ears of the ‘grogueta’ entity until this Tuesday. From that moment on, the negotiations that led to an agreement in principle were intensified, pending the last fringes so that it becomes a reality.
Denis Suárez, alternative in the transfer market
Chukwueze, with a contract in force until June 2024, has a clause of 80 million euros.
To cover the possible loss of the Nigerian, the ‘submarine’ is considering various possibilities, among which the signing of Denis Suárez, with whom Celta does not have and who was already in Villarreal’s orbit at the beginning of the market, is gaining strength again.
