Christopher Nkunku only joined AC Milan a few months ago, and yet it cannot be ruled out that he leaves in January.
According to Tuttosport (via Radio Rossonera), the attack is likely where the Milan management will focus their attention during the upcoming winter transfer window. Santiago Gimenez’s possible extended lay-off has further accelerated this need, but he isn’t the only one struggling.
Doubts over Nkunku
If Niclas Fullkrug has quickly climbed the hierarchy becoming the Rossoneri’s main target for the winter mercato, the paper goes on to add that the ‘dance of the strikers’ could also end up impacting Nkunku.
The Frenchman, who arrived in the summer for €37m plus €5m in bonuses (that are difficult to obtain) is experiencing a worrying impasse with zero goals scored in the league and the only assist provided on Sunday for Davide Bartesaghi.
His agent, Pini Zahavi, could take action to find a new solution for his client. In this sense it seems clear that only the Arab market could be viable due to the figures relating to the transfer fee and salary.
Nkunku earns €5m net per season which is another issue for Milan, who have given a hefty salary to a player that so far is doing very little to prove that he was worth the investment.
