- In the past few years, top-flight football has seen a massive shift as elite players are lured by the new craze sweeping the sport—jaw-dropping, big-money offers from Saudi Arabian clubs.
- These staggering contracts, dripping with wealth, are testing the very core of players’ ambitions and long-term desires, challenging them to weigh their competitive dreams against the allure of life-changing fortunes.
- Lookman, the Nigerian forward whose career has been on a steady rise, is the latest star caught in the whirlwind of temptation.
- As the offer looms large, one of his fellow Super Eagles teammates, Chukwueze, wasted no time in giving him some candid advice
AC Milan winger, Samuel Chukwueze has added fuel to the fire surrounding Ademola Lookman’s potential blockbuster move from Europa League champions Atalanta BC to Ligue 1, throwing in his two cents with a dash of humor and some very bold advice.
Lookman, fresh off an electrifying season where he solidified his reputation as Atalanta’s golden boy, was instrumental in helping the club achieve a historic feat—becoming the first Italian side to lift the UEFA Europa League trophy.
While clubs like PSG and Arsenal had their sights set on the dynamic winger, the European transfer window slammed shut before any concrete deals were made.
But that hasn’t stopped the noise, especially from Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad, who have reportedly dangled a tantalizing $15 million per season (around €13.89 million), a jaw-dropping sum equating to approximately 24 billion naira, in front of the Nigerian star.
With the transfer saga swirling, all eyes turned to the Super Eagles camp in Uyo, where Lookman has joined his national teammates for the international break.
Upon his arrival, Milan-based Chukwueze, always one for flair and humor, couldn’t resist jumping into the conversation.
The Milan-based winger passionately urged the newly minted Ballon d’Or nominee to take the plunge and accept the massive Saudi Arabian offer.
“He’s my brother, I just want to tell him,” Chukwueze screamed jokingly as he checked into the Super Eagles camp in a video on TikTok.
