Report: Fenerbahce willing to offer €25m to Milan as Tedesco wants Nkunku reunion

Christopher Nkunku has ended up at the top of Fenerbahce’s wish list for the attack, according to a report, and more talks will be held with AC Milan in the coming days. 

After a very tough first half of the season, Nkunku finally scored his first goals for Milan in the league last weekend, bagging a brace against Sassuolo. However, the transfer rumours haven’t stopped despite this; if anything, they have only been fueled.

About a week ago, the first reports linking the Frenchman with a move to Fenerbahce emerged, and the Turkish side remain the frontrunners in the race. Whether they will be able to reach an agreement with Milan is a different question.

Tedesco wants Nkunku

According to the latest update from the reputable Yagız Sabuncuoglu, Nkunku is the primary target for Fenerbahce’s attack. The Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sørloth was initially the first choice, but after he demanded a four-year deal worth €12m per year, the Turkish side had to look elsewhere.

The head coach, Domenico Tedesco, put forward a few names in light of Sørloth’s demands and Nkunku (his former player at Leipzig) was at the top of that wish list. Milan have already been sounded out, asking for €35m to sell the Frenchman, but Fenerbache would like to bring that down to €25m.

In the meantime, Milan are also looking for a potential replacement. Talks will continue in the coming days and if an agreement were to be reached, a trip to Milano will be on the cards to finalise the deal. Then again, Nkunku is Tedesco’s first choice.
