‘Away from Milan’ – Moretto suggests Nkunku could leave after January treatment

Throughout January, AC Milan were looking for a suitor for Christopher Nkunku, and it seems that this may have an effect. 

After a disappointing first few months, Milan approached the January mercato seemingly ready to part ways in a situation reminiscent of that involving Alvaro Morata last season. Throughout the month, then, there was plenty of interest.

Even towards the end of the month, it seemed that there would be some chance of him leaving to facilitate a move for Jean-Philippe Mateta. However, no moves were made in or out for either Frenchman.

Nkunku’s future in the air?

The forward got back on the scoresheet against Bologna on Tuesday night, but there are now suggestions that the Rossoneri could lose out on the former Chelsea man in the future.

As Matteo Moretto now suggests, via MilanNews, he could actually fulfil the January suggestions and depart this year, but it may be a move pushed for by the 28-year-old after the treatment he received last month.

“Nkunku could go away in this winter market, but in the end, he stayed. The Frenchman was treated a lot by Fenerbahçe and other Italian clubs also asked for information, but as we have always told you, Nkunku wanted to stay at Milan.

“His cards will be played, but it is clear that the treatment he received has made the relations between the parties crunch, especially with the attacker’s entourage. Although it was never officially put on the market, Nkunku had in fact been put on the market.

“We’ll see what happens in the summer, Milan will come back to listen to offers and Nkunku will then decide which way to take, maybe even away from Milan.”
