This morning, the ‘Here we go’ was delivered as AC Milan have agreed a deal for Christopher Nkunku, but there is more to the deal.
In the past 24 hours, if that, things with Christopher Nkunku have progressed at a rapid pace. The Frenchman became an interest and then things flew from there. Now, just 14 hours after the initially reported interest, Milan have agreed a deal.

Before Fabrizio Romano reported that a deal was done, he stated that the operation would close for more than €30 million, and it seems that the deal has closed at €35m plus bonuses. However, some more information has become available.
Terms of the deal
As The Athletic reports, the deal has been finalised at €42m, including bonuses, which are presumably related to the Frenchman’s performances, as well as club performances. Though there is another intriguing addition.
The Diavolo have agreed to a sell-on clause being inserted into the package, though there is no figure currently available for what percentage this will be of a deal.
At 27 and with a five-year deal agreed, it is difficult to see much upside to this clause being inserted. However, Massimiliano Allegri has his new forward, whom he hopes will make things click.
Allegri has his new forward 🤣 I’m sure he would prefer being shot in the knee than having to deal with that team built by drunk monkeys.
Allegri: “i want my giant forward 20 million fee transfer vlahovic.”
Tare: “NO. We can give you much more expensive one. 42 million the midget nkuku.”
To be fair the only reason Vlahovic isn’t a Milan player right now is Vlahovic..
Yep. That can’t really be blamed on Tare.
The guy makes 12 mil a season. He’s not going to reduce it. Milan can’t pay that.
WTF? 42M and a sell on clause for this guy? 42M? And the someone tells me Milan has no money to sign player. What a ridiculous amount for Nkunku.
Bayern backed out of the deal as it was a ridiculous fee but here comes Tare.
We are confused. How can poorlani easily approved this huge deal, instead of bonifat deal. Was he out of his mind. Wait for a sec, he’s in panicked mode at the verge of mercato closing date. But we can only watch with few handful of popcorn right.
Yes. Højlund doesn’t look that bad anymore. 🤣
Maybe some people here were right when they said Furlani/Milan were being racist as Boniface was black while Nkunku OH WAIT….!!! 😀 😀 😀
Hmmmm… Did Milan back out from the Harder deal because he was too white? 🤔
Maybe not French enough.
Spot on! 😀 😀 😀
You might be confused. Don’t say WE.
Boniface deal wasn’t approved because of his physical and problems with his knee, something that the player himself admited, not because of money.
It is sarcasm. Couldn’t be more obvious 😳
27 years with sell on clause maybe we sell to Saudi for €15m in 2 years after loaning him out next season
You guys do realize that nkunku is a top player right? He fell victim to Chelsea failure of a team and spending 100’s of millions on new players every season. This guy was once tracked by every team out there for over 70m and even now bayern were trying to sign him for more and for some reason chelsea demanded more from them. On form, this guy is just as dangerous as leao and I think it’s a great purchase. The only thing that makes sense now is to play a 4 3 3 or go back to playing a 4 2 3 1. Still need a target man.
So is Boniface. Way better than Nkunku in my opinion.
Everything is environmental. He was great at Leipzig, useless at Chelsea. It’s a few years since he was any use, so there’s that. He might remember how good he he overnight, or he might never refund that Leipzig form. Plenary of examples of players being great when all the planets aligned and one bad upwards move and five years later they’re at a smaller club than they started at.
Obviously I hope we’ve just signed a phenomenon, but you have to admit it’s weird that this boards record signing is both a risk and a profile no one was asking for.
But that’s the problem – what formation are we building this team around? When Allegri first arrived he said he wanted Giroud 2.0…
That’s the problem. he is (when healthy) a great player, scouted a lot a few yrs ago. BUT he isnt a target man…. and isnt that what we wanted/needed? The whole reason Santi isnt working is because he is not a target man. This guy is a better but just as fragile Okafor
LOL. Remember this is Chelsea, a club that only offered 20 mil for our captain and french #1 GK.
A Moncada signing. He has none of the characteristics Allegri wanted in a center forward. He’s not tall. He’s not strong. He’s not good in the air. He’s had 2 good seasons in his entire career.
So we’re taking out Chelsea’s trash again
This. Makes. Zero. Sense.
This isn’t even a loan… They straight up bought him! That blows m mind. And to do what with? 352 with Santi/Nkunku subbing each other?
Santi has got to be on his way out. That’s the only way this makes any logical sense.
the player is worth for 20 mil only, look to his age. could not sell high anymore if we buy 42 mil.
