Nigeria winger, Samuel Chukwueze has revealed the reason behind his decision to snub a move to Saudi Arabia last summer.<\/p>\n

Chukwueze was approached by a number of clubs in the Asian country after the end of the 2022\/23 season.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old however decided against accepting the tempting offer despite plea fron his manager.<\/p>\n

Instead, the talented winger joined Serie A giants, AC Milan ending his five-year stay with LaLiga club, Villarreal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf money were a problem, I would have signed in Saudi Arabia. They wanted me a year ago,\u201d the 25-year-old was quoted by Football Italia.<\/p>\n

\u201d My mind was set only on Milan. My agent told me, \u2018Hey, look, there\u2019s this money\u2026\u2019 But I said no: \u2018I don\u2019t want to go anywhere else.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo he gave up. If that money comes, it comes. The most important thing now is to believe in myself; I\u2019m still young, I want to make it, I need to stay in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chukwueze scored once in 24 league appearances for AC Milan last season.<\/p>\n
