AC Milan have agreed a 36m deal including add-ons to sign Christopher Nkunku. The 27-year-old is expected to accept a pay cut to join on a five-year contract. The Blues included a sell-on clause, ending Nkunku's two-year stay at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are pursuing Alejandro Garnacho while Nicolas Jackson is in talks over an initial loan to Bayern Munich that could include an obligation to buy. The sale raises Chelsea's transfer income to 309m against about 277m in purchases. Uefa sanctions included a 31m-euro fine and a requirement for a "positive transfer balance". Nkunku scored 18 goals and five assists in 62 matches.
AC Milan have agreed a a 36m deal - including add-ons - to sign Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku. The 27-year-old is expected to accept a pay cut in order to join the Italian side on a five-year contract and has been given permission to travel for a medical. The Blues have also included a sell-on clause as part of the deal, which will end Nkunku's two-year stay at Stamford Bridge.
The sale of Nkunku also means Chelsea can boast about making a profit in the transfer market, raising a league-high of an estimated 309m to balance about 277m in player purchases. Player sales are important to Chelsea this summer because of Uefa sanctions which included a fine of 31m euros (26.7m), but also a requirement to maintain a "positive transfer balance" in this window to register new signings for the Champions League.
