The contract extension negotiation between Villarreal and the representatives of Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze has reportedly halted as he continues to attract attention from other clubs.
Samuel Chukwueze’s contract with the Spanish club is expected to expire on June 30, 2024. To avoid losing him as a free agent, the club tried to extend the contract this season.
The Nigerian international has made a huge contribution to coach Quique Setien’s squad with 13 goals and 11 assists in all competitions so far this season.
Due to his interests, the 23-year-old winger and Villarreal have not come to an agreement on fresh terms for an extension according to Spanish website AS.
Chukwueze reportedly turned down the most recent offer because what the club offered wasn’t strong enough, raising concerns about his future with the team.
“Villarreal and the footballer’s representative have been sitting for a long time to try to extend the winger’s contract, but these negotiations are not advancing as expected,” the report stated.
“And time is running against the interests of the club, given that, as has been mentioned, he is close to entering the last year of his contract which ends in June 2024.”
