An agreement in principle has been reached for Christopher Nkunku to move from Chelsea to AC Milan for an initial fee around £30–35m, with add-ons and a sell-on clause potentially taking the total to about £36m. Nkunku joined Chelsea in summer 2023 for a reported £52m after prolific seasons at RB Leipzig, where he scored 70 goals in 172 appearances. The 27-year-old managed only six league goals across two seasons at Chelsea and struggled in the Premier League last term. Chelsea's summer signings have made Nkunku expendable, and proceeds could fund a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons.
Chelsea have agreed an initial 30m fee with AC Milan for Blues flop Christopher Nkunku, according to Fabrizio Romano. Nkunku's time at Stamford Bridge appears to be coming to an end after a two-year stay in English football. The Frenchman arrived for a reported 52m fee in the summer of 2023 on the back of two seasons as RB Leipzig's primary sharp-shooter in the Bundesliga.
Nkunku netted 70 goals in 172 appearances for the German club, 58 of which came in his final two seasons at Red Bull Arena. The 27-year-old's Chelsea move has not materialised in the way many Blues fans would have envisaged, after only six league goals across two seasons. Nkunku's scored seven goals in 11 Conference League fixtures last term, but only three in 27 Premier League outings.
