Christopher Nkunku is AC Milan’s biggest disappointment so far this season, and it cannot be ruled out that he leaves after a few months.
As La Repubblica (via MilanNews) report, Milan paid a whopping €37m this summer to sign Nkunku, but he has so far contributed just one goal and one assist, numbers far from what the management expected.

For this reason, Igli Tare and co. are reportedly starting to seriously evaluate Nkunku’s position in the squad, which is increasingly uncertain given the interest from Turkey.
Istanbul calling
Nkunku has admirers in Turkey, more specifically in Istanbul, where two of the city’s three big teams are said to be testing the waters to make an offer. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are tracking the Frenchman, with the latter ahead of the former at the moment.
To sell the former Chelsea man in January, Milan are asking for €35m, a figure that would still allow the Rossoneri to record a small capital gain after just six months of amortisation following his arrival in August.
In addition to Turkish clubs , Juventus have also reportedly timidly made an offer for Nkunku, exploring a swap deal with Federico Gatti. The Premier League are also showing interest in the 28-year-old.
Despite this, Turkey currently seems the most likely destination for the ex-Leipzig star, given that the only clubs willing to offer ‘real money’ (not a loan with option) are Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
Why you sell him? You will buy another disaster from England.
Idiots back Camarda and gave oportunity dont spend money at losers
Sell for 35 mil. Use Leao, Pulisic, Fullkrug and RLC (until Gimenez is back) as forwards for the rest of the season, then use part of those 35 mil for Vlahovic sign on bonus and salary in the summer.
Then we dump one of Fullkrug and Gimenez in the summer (the one the perform the worst during 2nd half of the season).
Leao, Pulisic, Vlahovic and one of Gimenez or Fullkrug as next seasons forwards should be good enough.
Bringing in Fullkrug doesn’t mean Nkunku will go. The guy is just getting into his game. So, I don’t understand where this story is coming from.
It will not be an easy job to sell N’kunku for a price that suits us! Turkey is not a very challenging league for most of the players who played in England and Italy. There will probably be an offer again for a loan with the option to buy or similar.
Icardi + Singo for Nkunku?
Since then Singo and Barte can also play RCB and LCB respectively, we can have just 5 CBs. Gila, Lucumi, Gatti can be that missing piece for us.
Athekame can also develop under less pressure, if he can start playing on both flanks, he will be a great cover
35 millions for this useless player will be a true miracle . Let’s pray 🙏 😆😆
I don’t think anyone who watched our games will pay 35M€ for Nkunku, maybe 3,5M€.
Nevertheless, 35M€ if true, is too good to refuse. Sell without a second thought BUT bring another striker.
