The shirt number Nkunku has chosen as medical tests for Milan are underway

Christopher Nkunku is currently undergoing his medical tests for AC Milan and while the deal isn’t official yet, the soon-to-be former Chelsea forward has chosen his shirt. 

Nkunku landed in Milan late last night and this morning, as captured by journalists on the scene, he began his medical tests at the La Madonnina clinic. Once those have been completed, he will move on to the athletic tests before signing his contract (if all goes well).

According to Pietro Balzano Prota, Nkunku has decided to go with the No.18 shirt, which was last worn by Luka Romero during the 2023-24 season. It’s perfect for the Frenchman, considering he has worn this number since the 2019-20 season (then at RB Leipzig).

The deal is believed to cost Milan around €38m plus bonuses, while there will also be a 10% future resale clause in favour of Chelsea. The bonuses should be difficult to achieve, at least per Matteo Moretto, so the final fee could stay at €38m.

Nkunku will get to work tomorrow, provided all goes well with the medical, and then he will have a lot of time to work with Max Allegri during the international break. He wasn’t called up by France, which is perfect for the Rossoneri.
