AC Milan Push For Christopher Nkunku Transfer As Talks With Chelsea Intensify

AC Milan are working hard to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea. They are in talks and are hopeful of finalizing the deal before the transfer window closes this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

AC Milan have spoken to Chelsea about a permanent deal for Christopher Nkunku. After failing to sign Conrad Harder, the club are prioritizing a striker, and recent talks suggest Nkunku is now their top target. Chelsea have set the fee at around £34.5m plus add-ons, while Milan have only been willing to pay £25.8m plus add-ons. Milan are confident of reaching an agreement, and multiple insiders say Nkunku is ready to move to Italy. Reports indicate Chelsea are prepared to let Christopher Nkunku leave this summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With last season’s eighth-place Serie A finish, Milan are looking to improve their attack. This season, AC Milan started their Serie A campaign with a 2-1 defeat to newly promoted Cremonese, making them lose ground to their competitors on matchday one. Meanwhile, Chelsea are focusing on moving players out after finishing fourth in the Premier League last season and qualifying for the Champions League. During the previous season, he played a total of 22 league games, managing eight goals and four assists, but last season was less fruitful due to his injuries.

WHAT’S NEXT?

AC Milan hopes to complete the signing before the transfer window closes on Monday. Their next match is away to Lecce, who are another candidate to fight for relegation. If the transfer is finalized on time, Nkunku could make his debut in this crucial match. Chelsea would gain funds for further reinforcements before the window closes by selling Nkunku. Fans of Milan are eager to see how Nkunku’s arrival could impact their attack and Serie A title ambitions this season.
