Overview

• Fabrizio Romano reports that Christopher Nkunku has given the green light to a five-year contract with AC Milan, with personal terms described as agreed.
• Multiple outlets say Milan are preparing a permanent offer in the €30–40m range to secure the forward from Chelsea.
• Chelsea are described as open only to a permanent sale rather than any loan structure, with negotiations continuing today.
• RB Leipzig and Aston Villa are also credited with interest in permanent deals, while Inter and Bayern were linked with loan proposals that have not met Chelsea’s stance.
• Milan’s push for a striker follows the exits of Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic, though local analysis questions Nkunku’s fit with Max Allegri’s preference for a tall target man.
