AC Milan Complete Nkunku Transfer After Chelsea Struggles
Share
AC Milan Complete Nkunku Transfer as the French forward officially signs a long-term deal with the Rossoneri, bringing fresh energy to an attack that looked thin in recent months. After a stop-start spell at Chelsea, the 27-year-old has swapped London for Milan in a move reported to be worth around €42 million. For fans looking to back their match picks, our expert Serie A Predictions can help add more context before the new season unfolds.
- Christopher Nkunku joins AC Milan from Chelsea on a five-year deal
- The transfer fee is reported to be around €42 million
- Nkunku could debut against Bologna on September 14
- Allegri gains a crucial attacking reinforcement after last season’s struggles
Nkunku’s arrival was sealed after he completed medical tests in Milan and signed his contract at Casa Milan. The deal ties him to the club until 2029, with a salary believed to be around five million euros per season. It’s a major statement of intent from Milan, who struggled to find consistency in front of goal last year. The Frenchman will wear the number 18 shirt, and he could make his Serie A debut as soon as September 14 against Bologna.
At Chelsea, Nkunku never truly settled. Despite flashes of brilliance, injuries and inconsistent minutes left him with just 18 goals across 62 appearances. He still managed to collect silverware, lifting both the Conference League and Club World Cup, but it never felt like the right fit. Now, Milan hope they can unlock the same version of Nkunku that dazzled in Germany with RB Leipzig, where he was one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking midfielders.
The timing couldn’t be better for coach Massimiliano Allegri. With Ardon Jashari, Samuele Ricci and Pervis Estupiñán also arriving this summer, Milan’s squad looks far deeper than the one that stumbled to an eighth-place finish in Serie A last season. Can Nkunku be the missing piece that transforms the Rossoneri’s attack? That’s the question on every fan’s mind. Allegri certainly believes so, already hinting at using Nkunku in a fluid front three.
Of course, it’s too early to call this move a guaranteed success. Some players thrive in Italy after struggling in England, while others fall into the same traps. Still, Milan’s investment shows real ambition. If Nkunku finds rhythm quickly, this could turn into one of the best signings of the season. And for those tracking trends and match outcomes, keeping an eye on our bold Serie A Predictions might just offer that extra edge.
