"Tough times for balloon sellers. Nkunku blew up one after scoring against Lecce in the Coppa Italia, but he hasn't had a chance to celebrate in the league. And the red balloon he puts in his sock every game remains there, waiting for better times."
"Milan fans, meanwhile, are doing the math and starting to worry: Nkunku hasn't scored in over 250 minutes of league action. That's a long time."
"A too expensive signing? Calm down, it's early November and Nkunku is a strong player. Between 2021 and 2023, he scored 36 goals in the Bundesliga, he's a French international, and he can play in various positions. He will certainly be useful at Milan. The question is whether he can be decisive. Whether he can be a starter, the journalist writes."
Christopher Nkunku joined AC Milan for €37–38m and entered the season with high expectations. Recovery of top physical condition and adaptation to Italian football have limited his impact. He has scored only once for Milan, a strong goal in the Coppa Italia against Lecce, and has struggled in the No.9 role in recent matches. Fan criticism and calls for change have arisen due to a lack of league goals over more than 250 minutes. Past form includes 36 Bundesliga goals between 2021 and 2023, international experience, and positional versatility, suggesting potential usefulness if decisiveness improves.
