Chukwueze, who struggled for consistent minutes during the 2024/2025 season at AC Milan, previously reflected on the challenges of the campaign in an interview with Victor Modo of Modzero Sport.
“Last season is something we don’t want to talk about. It was a bad season for the Milan fans and for everyone. It’s one of my worst seasons, I’m not going to lie. Not winning anything, not playing too much. Not having the stats, although I have the stats, but not playing too much.”
“Going out from the Champions League, losing a cup, losing in the league, Scudetto and everything. So, it was a bad season for everyone. Coupled with injuries and everything, changing a coach, bringing a new coach. So, it was upside down.”
“And I hope next season, everything will go well in Milan. I hope [to] win the Scudetto, win the Coppa Italia to make up with everything and qualify for the Champions League for the upper season.”
Despite his struggles in Europe, Chukwueze’s continued connection to home and his generous gestures have earned him praise, highlighting a player committed not only to his professional growth but also to uplifting those around him.
