Watch: Christopher Nkunku lands at Linate ahead of Milan signing

Earlier today, AC Milan finalised a deal for Christopher Nkunku, but he has yet to complete the officialities of the deal.

It has been a long summer, but Milan may finally have a forward through the door. Victor Boniface and Conrad Harder both seemed close before, so there may be some hangover fears. Nevertheless, the Frenchman will undergo the tests tomorrow.

Nkunku arrives

For now, though, we can only focus on what we see, and that is that he has landed at Milan Linate airport, ready to sign a contract after medical tests tomorrow.

Luca Maninetti, our colleague from SempreMilan.it was present for the landing and captured the footage seen below. Let’s hope this potential signing day goes better than the last. After the Ardon Jashari news, the Rossoneri certainly need a bit of luck.

  1. 35M and we passed up a loan for Hojland? We could have sold Gimenez and took the combined 70M and went after Osimhen.

    Well, I love to be proven wrong…Hope he score bags of goals!

          1. They posted stupid videos on social media when he missed a penalty or something like that. And the guy got angry, rightly so. You don’t make fun of your players.

    1. If and could not always work in football. Which club offer official bid for gimenez ? ACM never buy player more than 45m euro , not even in berlusconi without FFP. . What coach need now big man striker like similar to ibra / giroud not osimhem type striker

      1. Adjusted for inflation, Rui Costa, Nesta or Inzaghi’s transfers would be close to 100M in today’s money.

    1. he is more like a second striker and the club will probably get a big man who can hold the ball. It will be an interesting 3 days

  2. Must we complain in everything? We bought him now yet still complaining and if no player arrives we will still complain
    Let support whoever we have and hope for another window

  3. Nunez foi vendido por 53 milhões
    Vlahovic tá aí dando sopa
    Milan pega esse tal de jasari não entendo isso
    Vá até o city traga gundogan e o zagueiro canhoto
    Na venda do nosso meio campista para o city dava pra negociar os termos
    40 milhões traria lookman e melhor do que nossos CF
    Não consigo entender essa diretoria
    Chiesa tava fora do liverpool não aproveitaram agora tem kiwor e eles não aproveita

  4. On paper… and based on the hope he can hit even a quarter of the form he showed at Leipzig, I think this can be a very very good signing for us.
    At one point this guy had the world at his feet and we would’ve been happy he we gotten him at the backend of his Leipzig performances. I just hope he isn’t too damaged by the Chelsea spell. In terms of quality. He is a waaay better than Ok4 and Chuck… him, Leao and Pulisic makes me dream. I hope it works out!
    Forza Milan

    1. Pulisic came from Chelsea and I’m sure they celebrated then too….but he is one of Milan’s best players.

      1. Pulisic was around 24 when he came to us. He was a wonderkid in Dortmund. Excellent form for 3 seasons there. Also performed well at his early season(s) at Chelsea. He’s also a key player in his national team. And on top of it all, we got him for 20 ish mil.

        Nkunku? 27 and costed us around 35-40ish mil. Yes, he had, great couple of seasons in Bundesliga. But that’s it. Never been a key player in his national team too.

        So yes, the concern of most of us here is logical. The risk in this operation is just too damn high. Moreover, he’s not the kind of player we really need.

        1. Pulisic a wonderkid but this dude is player of the season and was a top scorer not just a wonderkid and you said that “thats it” ?

      2. Yes but it was much way cheaper. We got 2 – RLC + Pulisic for Nkunku money. Risking 20M or 40, big difference. This guy has to deliver or Milan is losing money 100%. Pulisic even if he failed could be sold for 15M easy.

  5. I don’t think he solves our striker problem but he gives us a some depth with Leao & Puli. Our forward depth is way better now than with Chuk & Okafor. Play Nkunku as a false 9 and we’re better than we were last week.

  6. He will work better in a 352 system as 2nd striker with Gimenez. Or alone as a false striker aided by Leao and Puli. Gives us options so not a bad idea if he stays fit.

  7. Nkunku is highly welcomed. Though he is not the point man we are expecting therefore there’s still room for VLAHOVIC IN FRONT AND GIMENEZ AND NKUNKU WILL BE SHARING TIME AND PITCH.

    . MILAN IS NOW WHERE OTHER CLUBS DUMP THEIR REFUSE( DEAD PLAYERS). CAN’T THE SCOUTS TRY BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA CLUBS RELATIONSHIPS?

    LET’S HOPE THE NEWCOMERS WILL BE ABLE TO PERFORM WELL. THANKS.

  8. No strategy. Just buy what comes up. They could have picked who to sign in July for 40M, but wait for the last few days and then panic buy from the leftovers. If he fails his medical, what will happen?
    I think even if it is not perfect they will sign him as it would be embarrassing to have 2 transfers fail in a row. Where is Akanji?

  9. If he’s fit he’s a great player. I just think he unbalances our team which is already unbalanced. Are we now going to continue with Leao upfront as they both operate best on left hand side or are we still going to find a good up striker. If it’s a direct upgrade on okafor then what an upgrade.

  10. He will be injuri afyer month or earlier.
    Good things is we soon relegate to seria B and finaly this owners will sell us.
    Only tourists and idiots can support this owners and clownes.
