"It has not been the best of starts to life at AC Milan for Christopher Nkunku, but the management have no regrets about signing him. As Calciomercato.com recall, Nkunku has made eight appearances across all competitions so far in 2025-26, racking up 281 minutes and one goal in the Coppa Italia against Lecce, plus an assist for Alexis Saelemaekers in the most recent league match against Parma."
"The €38m investment plus €4m in bonuses certainly weighs on everyone's opinion of Nkunku. The Frenchman, according to Milan's management, is a very strong player and will be useful to Allegri this season. The initial difficulties are linked to his adjustment to a different style of football compared to English and German ones and to his physical condition, which is still far from 100%. Tare has no regrets about choosing him at the end of August, when fans were expecting a true No.9."
Christopher Nkunku has made eight appearances for AC Milan in 2025-26, totaling 281 minutes, scoring once in the Coppa Italia against Lecce and providing an assist against Parma. Early performances have been underwhelming after a demanding previous season that included the Club World Cup until July and limited playing time over the last two years. Massimiliano Allegri started Nkunku against Roma and Parma, but the expected end product has not materialized. Milan invested €38m plus €4m in bonuses for the transfer. Club management view Nkunku as a strong player who will be useful once he adapts tactically and regains full fitness. Tare expressed no regrets about the signing despite fan expectations for a traditional No.9.
