GdS: Nkunku departure chances grow as Fullkrug arrives – the striker conundrum

With Niclas Fullkrug arriving, AC Milan now have a surplus of options in attack, so someone may have to leave the club.

Divock Origi’s departure this morning does not really change anything for Milan. Whilst they have been given a massive injection of funds – thanks to his contract termination – he was not part of the squad anyway.

So, that means that the department now potentially looks bloated, and someone could leave.

Nkunku now involved

Santiago Gimenez’s future was the big focus ahead of 2026, and it still may be, but the focus has moved away from the Mexican thanks to his injury. He will return in February, so whether anyone is willing to make a move will have to be seen.

Alternatively, as has been reported recently, Christopher Nkunku could leave only six months after joining, mirroring what happened with Alvaro Morata last season.

As Gazzetta dello Sport writes this morning (seen below), the Frenchman ‘is now involved’ in the outgoing market, and things could progress quickly, with his start to life not proving fruitful. Of course, it is important to remember that his arrival was never really requested.

Giorgio Furlani is reported to have completed the deal without any real desire for him from Allegri or Igli Tare.

    1. Exactly. Who is going to pay any money for him. Or will he stay as a backup forward? I still believe that there will be issues with Leão and Pulisic having only one spot for the two of them.

      1. I will be amazed if anyone pays money for the fat turd. He never should have been signed. Now, if he leaves and Disasi comes in, for example, then there’s some sort of relationship with Chelsea. Chelsea need to continually offload players to comply with PSR rulings, in Milan they have willing buyers. Plus of course, Mike is probably going to join Chelsea on a free in the summer.

    1. Go and watch him play. He isn’t as good when playing outside his age group. He’s not rotting, he’s not good enough.

      1. And this is exactly why he went to Lecce. He’s 17, playing in the CF position in a league where defense and toughness rule. Geez. It is a big difference a Karl at bayern, or Musiala at barcelona where playing on the wing in more open leagues, grants you more space and you get covered by fullbacks. VS a CF who gets by nature get covered by 2 giant CB and get more space. Tell me a CF under 20 currently killing it?
