"Christopher Nkunku's start to AC Milan life has not been brilliant, and it is not hard to see why. Seeing the solution, though, is challenging. Football is not as simple as selling because a player does badly, especially in the first six months. Of course, there are times when this occurs, but it is far from regular. Yet, with Nkunku, it has seemed like the most likely option."
"Against Verona, the forward showed a new side of himself, a goalscorer. He took the penalty to 'break free', as Gazzetta dello Sport wrote in this morning's edition (seen below), and then he grabbed a second in typical striker fashion. Of course, he is not the physical man that Massimiliano Allegri desires. However, if he can poach in the box like that, who knows if that physicality is needed? Now, on Friday, the hope will be that he can continue in this manner."
"In Turkey, Fenerbahce are looking to strengthen and the Frenchman's former coach, Domenico Tedesco, could push for the move. Nkunku would be a 'crucial' addition in his eyes, and with evaluations ongoing, a departure cannot be ruled out. It would be an instant transfer, perhaps for as much as what he arrived for in the summer. January is a big month, and things can change quickly."
Christopher Nkunku has struggled to start life at AC Milan and has looked like an exit candidate. Selling a player after only six months is not straightforward, but Nkunku has been close to that outcome. He scored twice against Verona, converting a penalty and poaching a second goal, showing goalscoring instincts. Physicality remains a concern for Massimiliano Allegri, yet effective box poaching could mitigate that issue. Rafael Leao's status and form also influence squad choices. Fenerbahce and former coach Domenico Tedesco are monitoring Nkunku, making January a decisive transfer window.
