Overview
- AC Milan excluded Christopher Nkunku from first-team training and pre-season squads on Saturday, a clear signal that the club is actively inviting offers.
- Italian reports say Milan have set an asking price near €35 million while remaining open to a paid loan with an option to buy because his salary complicates a straight permanent sale.
- Roma, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are the main clubs reported to be monitoring the player, with Leipzig offering familiarity and Dortmund viewing him as a versatile, experienced attacking option.
- Nkunku is approaching 29 and joined Milan last summer from Chelsea for about €37 million plus add-ons after a standout spell at RB Leipzig where he scored 70 goals and provided 56 assists in 172 games.
- If no permanent buyer meets Milan’s valuation clubs are expected to pursue loan structures that share or cover his wages, and the next move to watch is any formal offer that addresses both fee and salary costs.
