Cuomo reveals who Tare went for before 40m Nkunku purchase: "The third choice"
"“This victory belongs to Igli Tare. He will most likely be the first to go: this is the madness of football. There is no sporting director who, out of ten operations, gets all 10 right. I believe that Tare has done four absolutely formidable and decisive things for Milan's season: arriving and signing Allegri, convincing Modric to wear the Rossoneri shirt with a trip to Croatia, helping the coach with Rabiot's request and bringing Maignan back to love the Rossoneri shirt and to sign the contract.”"
"“Tare doesn't just take Nkunku because one morning he wakes up and says 'I'll take Nkunku'... He takes Nkunku because the club says no to Vlahovic who costs too much, no to the obligation to buy for Hojlund preferring only the right, and then Nkunku is the third choice.”"
"“Then we will have to understand why Vlahovic is a no, Hojlund no and yes to 40 million straight away to Chelsea for Nkunku.”"
"“This weekend, Nkunku scored another goal, taking his tally to eight for the season. For a striker who has not seen any consistent minutes and played with poor options, it is really not that bad.”"
Christopher Nkunku has faced criticism from AC Milan fans due to limited consistent playing time and being a non-first-choice option. Despite these constraints, he has continued to contribute, scoring again to reach eight goals for the season. The situation is framed as comparable to other Milan attackers, including Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, with Nkunku not presented as a major problem. Igli Tare is praised for key decisions that shaped Milan’s season. The praise includes bringing in Allegri, influencing Modric’s involvement, supporting the coach regarding Rabiot, and helping secure Maignan’s return and contract. Nkunku is described as a result of Milan rejecting other options due to cost and fit, leading to a third-choice signing.
