RB Leipzig have won the race to sign Christopher Nkunku as a deal with AC Milan has been agreed according to a report in Germany.
Over the past few days there have been numerous destinations mentioned as being possibilities for Nkunkun, who has been excluded from the plans by head coach Ruben Amorim. However, it has always seemed as though a return to RB Leipzig has been the most likely option.

Fabrizio Romano reported last night that the Bundesliga side had convinced the Frenchman to return. As a reminder, Nkunku had a highly successful time there, even finishing as the joint-top scorer in the league alongside Niclas Füllkrug in 2022-23.
Nkunku to Leipzig: Done deal
Now, Florian Plettenburg of Sky Germany is reporting the following: “Christopher Nkunku to RB Leipzig – DONE DEAL. Verbal agreement in principle reached with AC Milan for the return of the 28 y/o versatile forward.
“Loan deal with an option to buy now agreed. Last details. Deal set to be finalised in the next 2-3 days.”
The likes of Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund have also been mentioned as potential destinations for the former Chelsea man, as have Newcastle United. However, it seems a return to Germany is on the cards.
It is very good job.
I still expecting answer from audience who “explains that he should be sold permanently ” , how you going to do that, when no one offer it.
4mil paid loan means small loss this year from keeping Nkunku.
Yea really the only team offering right now.
Those were all loan proposals.
Even Newcastle
Newcastle offered few million more for optional buy.
It is good that Nkunku is leaving this season.
Hopefully Rabiot, Pulisic, Ramos, maybe Leao if he stays, and other will score Nkunku goals and penalties.
Either way good luck for Nkunku because that’s for the interest both player and Ac Milan
Yeah, he’ll be back next year with a year older and less value on the market.
Maybe better keep him if its only a loan, i still think he is better LW then Sale and Cise. Only good think is we are removing his sallary for a year.
Only loan with option to buy. Not good for business skill. You can buy 75m for new striker but you cant even sale out for the deadwoods… 😂🤣😂🤣🍻🍻⛳
Tomori, Estupinan, Ricci, Leao, Gimenez
F. Terracciano, Bondo
Fofana
Why people expect players which we buy,we can sell him for more??
Guys you should know that only hapens 2x and 40x we sell less( tonali and rijnders)
Example Ramos will be sell maximum for 40mill at future,only not if he score 40goals and that is imposible.
Salemakers,Jashari,Ricci,Gimenez,Nkunku,Fofana,Estupinan,Ramos,guy from Strasb etc..all buy for not normal price( too much expencive and no one exept our stupid managment not pay that) so will be sell for half because is that theirs real price.
We just dont buy talents players(like Alajbegovic) we buy players with big money which they are good and not world class. That is problem we dont see and dont know buy world class players.
We should sell Leao and Pulisic last year because they will be worst and worst.Last year we can take probably 150mill for both,this year maximum 100mil and next year will be 70mil for both.
Why our managment dont see this ( they have salary and i wrote this for free) i realy dont know. Maybe they should gave me job.
If he play good at Leipzig , next summer or Leipzig will buy him or another club for 30+millions.
