Moretto confirms that Milan will sign Nkunku on Friday with deal done – the latest

A move for Christopher Nkunku has come about really quickly, and AC Milan will look to finalise things tomorrow. 

Milan have certainly had an interesting window; several strikers have been linked and now Massimiliano Allegri will work with Nkunku, who is not really his ideal striker build. However, this is where Artem Dovbyk could help.

Nevertheless, the Rossoneri, less than 24 hours after the initial interest was reported, have agreed a deal to sign the Frenchman from Chelsea for around €42 million, with €35m being upfront. Interestingly, the Blues have inserted a sell-on clause for the future.

Rushing through

With things moving so quickly and the mercato ending shortly, the Rossoneri are not wasting any time in getting him in Milano. In fact, Matteo Moretto (via MilanNews) writes that, all being well, he will sign his contract with the club tomorrow.

Presumably, the deal will be confirmed before the game against Lecce, though this is only speculative. Either way, he will not be able to feature this weekend, so there should be no rush getting things over the line.

However, it is a big move for a striker who has not been brilliant for Chelsea since joining. It also needs to be seen how Allegri will utilise the Frenchman.
