Christopher Nkunku’s future at AC Milan appears increasingly uncertain, with the 28-year-old French forward expected to depart the club this summer. Having joined from Chelsea just twelve months ago for €37 million, Nkunku has failed to establish himself as a key player under new manager Ruben Amorim, prompting the Italian side to make him available for transfer.
During his single season at the San Siro, Nkunku contributed eight goals and three assists across 35 appearances. Despite these modest figures, his departure has attracted significant interest from several top European clubs. Newcastle United has emerged as a serious contender to secure the forward’s services, offering him a potential return to English football.
The race to sign Nkunku extends beyond the Premier League, however. Borussia Dortmund has made formal inquiries about the player, while RB Leipzig—where Nkunku previously enjoyed considerable success—is also exploring the possibility of bringing him back to the Bundesliga. The forward is reportedly focusing on moves within Europe’s major leagues, having dismissed approaches from Turkish and Saudi Arabian clubs.
With multiple options available, Nkunku’s next destination remains uncertain as the summer transfer window progresses. Newcastle’s interest suggests the club views him as a viable option to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
