Overview

• The 27-year-old completed exams at La Madonnina and CONI before signing at Casa Milan, with Sky Sport Italia reporting €5m in add-ons and a 10% future-sale clause.
• The switch followed collapsed moves for Rasmus Hojlund, Victor Boniface and Conrad Harder, with Boniface failing medicals and Sporting delaying Harder’s release.
• Nkunku offers a different profile from the physically imposing centre-forward Allegri preferred, prompting adjustments to Milan’s attacking setup.
• Allegri said he did not ask for Dusan Vlahovic and indicated he would work with the characteristics of the players signed.
• Rafael Leao, tried as a centre-forward in pre-season, is sidelined until after the international break and could reprise the role once fit.
