CM: A verbal offer and a rejected swap – the latest on Nkunku’s future as Tare tries

Things are moving for Christopher Nkunku and his potential exit from AC Milan, and the Frenchman is certainly not unsellable.

There have been a few questions about whether Nkunku could be sold in January, and it seems that Milan are entertaining talks about his future, despite suggestions that he would remain a Rossonero until the summer at least.

This morning, it was reported that Fenerbahce were heavily interested, whilst the Diavolo would not reject opening talks for an exit.

Offers and swaps

Now, this afternoon, things have progressed a little further, it seems, with Calciomercato.com reporting that a first verbal offer has been made.

Fenerbahce have stated that they are ‘willing’ to meet the demands set by Milan – who hope to retrieve the €38 million spent in the summer – or at least pay €35m for the French attacker. However, it must be a permanent offer now, not a loan-to-buy.

To sweeten the deal, Igli Tare has tried to include Milan Skriniar in negotiations, who is also appreciated by Massimiliano Allegri. However, the Turkish club are not open to discussions regarding their defender.

It seems, then, that Nkunku will only depart to join his former coach if €35m is paid next month. Certainly a big ask.
