Discussions over a contract renewal for Nigerian winger, Samuel Chukwueze have stalled as he is yet to reach a final agreement with Villarreal, according to a report on Spanish website, AS.

The 23-year-old’s contract at the Estadi de la Ceràmica is due to expire in the summer of 2024 and both parties have not agreed on new terms for renewal.

According to the newspaper, the proposal Yellow Submarine presented to the Nigerian was not convincing enough and this caused him not to accept the new offer putting his future at the club in doubt.

“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.”

The Nigeria international has been an integral part of coach Quique Setien’s side scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists across all competitions this season.

Chukwueze had an outstanding showing against the Real Marid at the Bernabeu, where he scored a brace plus an assist as Villarreal stunned the champions with a 3-2 win on matchday 28.
