As the days go by, the chances of Christopher Nkunku joining Fenerbahce from AC Milan seem to be decreasing.
Over the past few days, it has emerged that Fenerbahçe are seriously pursuing Nkunku, a move specifically requested by head coach Domenico Tedesco, who coached the Frenchman during his time at RB Leipzig when he hit his peak. Yet, things do not seem to be moving forward much.
Nkunku to Fenerbahce blocked
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Milan want least €33m to sell Nkunku. This is not a random figure: the amount that would allow them to avoid a capital loss after paying €37m plus bonuses to sign him from Chelsea in the summer.
At the moment, Nkunku is also showing no willingness to leave Milan after just six months, especially now that he’s managed to score a brace in his last league appearance against Hellas Verona, his first goals in Serie A.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) agree with their colleagues. The Turkish club are pressing hard to sign the ex-Chelsea man and show no intention of giving up, but for now the forward ‘seems intent on staying at Milanello’.
Training is scheduled to resume on Monday at Milanello to begin preparations for the next league match against Genoa, scheduled for Thursday at 20:45 CET at San Siro. Nkunku’s condition will also be monitored, as he suffered a blow against Genoa that prevented him from playing on Friday in Cagliari.
His goal is to be back at Allegri’s disposal for the next match, otherwise the Frenchman’s attention will shift to the next match at Fiorentina next Sunday. In the meantime, Milan will hope talk about his future dissipates.
