AC Milan had spent € 110 million during this transfer window. We will have to add 40 more. We revealed it to you in recent days, the Lombard club stormed Christopher Nkunku and even managed to get ahead of Bayern Munich, who had taken a step ahead in this case. The Rossoneri won the bet by offering an estimated dry transfer between 40 and 45 million €, where the Bavarians wanted to go through a loan. The news is now official.

“”AC Milan is delighted to announce the final recruitment of Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea FC. The French striker signed a contract with the club until June 30, 2030»Unveil Il Diavolo. By signing until 2030, the Frenchman became the 2nd most expensive recruit in the history of AC Milan, behind a certain Rafael Leao, who will therefore be his new teammate to lead the attack.

Nkunku needs to revive, AC Milan too

This transfer suits almost everyone. Nkunku needs to relaunch after two disappointing seasons in Chelsea. The 27 -year -old striker was first held back by the numerous injuries as soon as he arrived in England from the RB Leizpig against € 60 million. He will have had time to participate at 14 games (3 goals) before catching up with the following exercise with 48 appearances (15 goals, 5 assists). Except that the starting eleven train has passed under his nose. He had to settle for less important matches.

It was not really shining either this season either. The former Parisian had not even been summoned for the first two games of the Premier League. Chelsea wanted to part with it in order to lighten an insane workforce. He will try to relaunch AC Milan, which also needs to obtain results after two last disappointing, even failed championships. Nkunku will get to know Allegri, with a divisive personality, and will be able to count on his friend Mike Maignan to perfect his integration.
