With Jean-Philippe Mateta looking like a potential late arrival, AC Milan are trying to part with Christopher Nkunku to free up space for another Frenchman.
When he first arrived, there were certainly a few questions about Nkunku’s signing. After all, he was the polar opposite of what Massimiliano Allegri had asked for, and he did not arrive for a cheap fee. Whilst he showed a few bright sparks after initial issues, he has certainly been a bit disappointing.
As a result of this, Milan have been open to the idea of parting with him this month, and a few attempts were made a few weeks ago. Though nothing progressed.
Nkunku on the market
Now, at the end of the mercato, the Rossoneri are getting closer to the signing of Mateta, and it seems that Nkunku could be gotten rid of, with reports suggesting that the club are now open to a loan-to-buy situation.
Calciomercato.com reports that Atletico Madrid and Fenerbahce are the biggest suitors currently, and both are evaluating the situation, whilst the inclusion of a Premier League suitor cannot also be ruled out at this stage.
However, one team has already rejected the idea. As Nicolo Schira reports, Napoli were offered the attacker, but they have other ideas in mind, so they will not pursue a deal.
