The former Golden Eaglets attacker added that his aim is to ensure the Yellow Submarines, who are fifth in the Spanish League with one game left, qualify for Europe next season.
When asked about the Real Madrid links, Chukwueze told El Pais: “That’s just noise. My dream is to play again in Europe with Villarreal. I have a contract until 2024, and I hope not to be free. The Roigs have behaved very well with me. They are like my family. The right thing is for me to leave good money in this club.”
It is not only Real Madrid interested in the Nigerian. Chukwueze has also been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Newcastle and Everton reportedly interested in his services.
