AC Milan have rejected Real Betis’ offer for their Nigerian import, Samuel Chukwueze.
The La Liga club proposed to sign the talented winger on loan until the end of the season, according to Italian news outlet Gazzetta.
However, Real Betis’s proposal fell short of Milan’s expectations.
The Green and Whites are expected to return with an improved bid before the end of the current transfer window.
Chukwueze joined Milan from Spanish outfit Villarreal two years ago.
The 25-year-old has struggled to secure a regular playing spot at the club.
He has scored once in 17 league appearances for the Rossoneri this season.
