AC Milan sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea for €42 million

 

CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU COMPLETES €42M MOVE TO AC MILAN FROM CHELSEA

The 26-year-old French forward will remain at San Siro until 2030, bringing an end to his brief and frustrating spell in West London. Signed with high expectations, Nkunku’s time at Chelsea was marred by injuries that limited his impact and made it difficult for him to secure a regular place in Enzo Maresca’s squad.

AC Milan see Nkunku as a major addition to their attack, with his versatility and creativity expected to complement their existing frontline. Known for his sharp movement, ability to operate both as a striker and attacking midfielder, and eye for goal, Nkunku arrives with a point to prove after an underwhelming Premier League chapter.

For Chelsea, the sale represents both a financial boost and a fresh start, as the club continues reshaping its squad under Maresca. Milan, meanwhile, have landed a player who, when fit, has shown himself capable of delivering at the highest level, particularly during his prolific spell at RB Leipzig.

The French international now looks set to reignite his career in Serie A, with Milan fans hopeful he can replicate the form that once made him one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards.
