Nigeria international forward Samuel Chukwueze is currently receiving backlash from fans of Real Madrid for his comments on rumours linking him to the team from his current LaLiga team Villarreal, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Chukwueze who is having his best season in a long while with 13 goals and 11 assists in 49 gmass in all competitions and with his contract set to run out in 2024, he has been linked with a potential exit at the end of the season.
He has been linked with English Premier League sides in Arsenal and Newcastle United with Italian Serie A side Napoli also credited with an interest in securing his services. In Spain Real Madrid is the one team that is rumoured to be interested in the 24 year old.
Reacting to the rumours of a potential move to Real Madrid, he termed the reports as noise insisting that he is very settled at Villarreal and looking forward to playing in Europe next season with the yellow submarines.
“Real Madrid talk? This is noise, my dream is to play in Europe with Villarreal”, he said when asked about the chances of joining Real Madrid in the summer.
That comment infuriated the fans of the club, who in turn responded by telling the Nigeria international that he isn’t even good enough to play for their B, how much more the main team.
