Nkunku has become Milan’s most in-form forward as the season nears its end, contributing decisively in the last two matches. He won and converted penalties against Atalanta and Genoa, with the Genoa penalty helping secure crucial points in the top-four race. He also provided momentum after coming on late versus Atalanta and reignited Milan early in the second half against Genoa. He is Milan’s third-highest league scorer with seven goals, behind Pulisic and Leao, whose scoring has slowed more recently. Despite improved form, his place next season is not assured. His future depends on whether Massimiliano Allegri stays, Milan’s formation, the status of other forwards, and incoming players. A sale remains possible if an offer arrives, and his agent has already been contacted by multiple teams.
"Nkunku is actually the most in-form forward Milan have at the moment and he has been a key asset in the last two games. He won and converted penalties against Atalanta and Genoa, with the latter resulting in a crucial three points in the top four pursuit."
"Against Atalanta, he came on at the end of the game but gave the team a jolt, almost dragging them to a sensational comeback. In Genoa, it was again he who reignited the Rossoneri fire at the start of the second half. He is the third-top scorer for Milan in the league with seven goals behind Pulisic (8) and Leao (9)."
"Despite these positive impressions made towards the end of the season, it cannot be said that Nkunku is guaranteed to remain at Milan next season. He has certainly increased his chances of remaining, although many things need to be determined first. The factors at play are whether Massimiliano Allegri will stay, what formation the Rossoneri will play, what happens to the other forwards and who arrives."
"A sale remains almost equally plausible, especially if an offer is received. The player's agent has already been contacted by several teams. It remains to be seen whether this interest will translate into concrete offers and whether these will be deemed suitable by Milan, who spent €38m plus bonuses to buy the former Leipzig star from Chelsea in August."
