Sources close to the negotiations reveal that Milan are preparing a \u20ac30\u201340 million bid<\/strong>, with personal terms reportedly almost agreed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca<\/strong> has confirmed that Nkunku, along with Nicolas Jackson, would be \u201chappier away from Chelsea,\u201d signaling the club\u2019s intent to resolve their futures before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nkunku arrived at Chelsea in 2023 for \u00a352 million<\/strong>, following a stellar stint at RB Leipzig where he registered over 60 goal contributions<\/strong> <\/a>across two seasons. However, his Premier League journey has been marred by injuries, tactical misfits, and lack of consistent starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His exclusion from Chelsea\u2019s matchday squads and training sessions has further fueled speculation of an imminent exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AC Milan have been evaluating multiple striker options this summer, including Pernille Harder<\/strong>, though that deal remains incomplete. With the deadline approaching, Nkunku has emerged as a priority target<\/strong>, offering versatility across the front line and proven pedigree in European competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His ability to play as a false nine<\/strong>, second striker<\/strong>, or attacking midfielder<\/strong> fits Milan\u2019s tactical blueprint, especially with Rafael Le\u00e3o<\/strong> and Christian Pulisic<\/strong> operating wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If completed, the Nkunku deal could be one of the most strategic moves of the summer\u2014reviving a talented forward\u2019s career while giving Milan a dynamic edge in attack. For Chelsea, it\u2019s a chance to offload a high-earner and recalibrate their squad under Maresca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With personal terms nearly agreed and Milan confident of closing the deal, all eyes are on the final negotiation steps.
