Not too many Villarreal players have scored a brace against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu with Samuel Chukwueze becoming the second player to do so after Diego Forlan, reports Nigeriasoccernet.com.
With Madrid looking to reinforce its attack ahead of next season, Chukwueze's name have popped up and reports says Florentino Perez is a big fan of the Nigerian.
Samuel Chukwueze's contract with Villarreal ends 2024 and his release clause is 100 million euros but that could be slashed into two.
Radio Marca in Spain report on the Nigeria winger and Madrid link states:
"Florentino liked it and in the box they talked about the possibility of having Vinicius in one band and Chukwueze in the other, two daggers" stated Parrado in his opening of Goals.
"Real Madrid does not lose track of the market. The Madrid squad needs to reinforce itself at the point of attack for the future. Last Saturday at the Bernabéu, the Villarreal CF player, Samu Chukwueze, dazzled the white leaders, including the club's president, Florentino Pérez. The 23-year-old Nigerian player liked and convinced Real Madrid after the exhibition he gave on the pitch. According to Parrado, the Premier will tempt the Nigerian again: "Half the Premier loved him, the last one was Everton"
"During the meeting, the president of the 'groguets', Fernando Roig, together with Florentino , were talking about the yellow winger in the box at the Santiago Bernabéu. An informal meeting, but which makes clear the interest of those from Chamartín in the yellow footballer."
Although Villarreal will love to extend Chukwueze's contract but an offer in the region of 50 million euros might tempt them to let go especially with about a year left on his contract with them.
