• The transfer is reported at €37–38 million plus up to €4–5 million in add-ons, with a 10% cut of any future sale included.
• Nkunku completed medicals at La Madonnina and the required CONI checks before signing at Casa Milan following his arrival in Italy.
• Chelsea confirmed the sale and thanked Nkunku, with manager Enzo Maresca noting competition in his position as the reason for limited minutes.
