Nkunku speaks for the first time as an AC Milan player: “I am very happy to be here”

After the official announcement this morning, Christopher Nkunku spoke briefly about his move to AC Milan and his connections.

There will be a longer interview conducted later today, imaginably; however, Nkunku has said a few things already about his move to Milan. The deal came about rather quickly, with the Frenchman linked and signed within 14 hours.

Nkunku’s first statements

The midfielder has already spoken to MilanTV, which MilanNews relays this afternoon, with Nkunku looking at the move itself, expressing how excited he was to get going, as well as looking at his relationship with Mike Maignan.

On Milan and the project…

“Happy with this new adventure and enthusiastic about wearing the Rossoneri shirt, I’ve gotten involved in this project, and I’ll give everything for these colours.”

Friendship with Maignan…

“I’ve known him for many years, we corresponded, and he was very happy for me when he heard I was coming to Milan. We’re two similar guys, with a competitive nature, he’s a great friend, and I’m happy to have him back here.”

On his personal Instagram, the Frenchman stated the following.

“Proud and excited to start this new chapter with such a prestigious and historic club, AC Milan. I can’t wait to wear the Rossoneri colours and feel the San Siro energy. Forza Milan!”

The club have also posted a short reel, which can be seen below.

“Ciao Rossoneri, I am very happy to be here. I am excited to come to San Siro and see you and start with the team. Forza Milan.”
