AC Milan paid €38m to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea in the summer.
Since the Frenchman’s arrival, he’s barely made an impact and has also faced physical problems. He has no Serie A goals in 11 outings, having failed to establish himself in Max Allegri’s system.
Calciomercato’s Daniele Longo reports the 28-year-old ‘has failed and is on the market’, suggesting that Milan are looking to part ways with the ex-Chelsea man.
It is explained that the Frenchman’s attitude at Milan has been quite passive. He is losing trust at the Rossoneri, who are hoping that Nkunku’s agent Pini Zahavi helps them find a solution in January.
His disappointing form will not make an exit easy, but the player is keen on playing for France at the World Cup and could accept a transfer.
The Italian giants’ management has ‘clearly rejected’ the attacker. There were doubts about the deal immediately when it happened, even if the Blues granted Milan a hefty discount.
Milan now want to recoup the €38m that they paid to Chelsea in the summer. This will also give them a chance to sign a new striker.
