Christopher Nkunku is currently undergoing his medical tests for AC Milan and while the deal isn’t official yet, the soon-to-be former Chelsea forward has chosen his shirt.
Nkunku landed in Milan late last night and this morning, as captured by journalists on the scene, he began his medical tests at the La Madonnina clinic. Once those have been completed, he will move on to the athletic tests before signing his contract (if all goes well).

According to Pietro Balzano Prota, Nkunku has decided to go with the No.18 shirt, which was last worn by Luka Romero during the 2023-24 season. It’s perfect for the Frenchman, considering he has worn this number since the 2019-20 season (then at RB Leipzig).
The deal is believed to cost Milan around €38m plus bonuses, while there will also be a 10% future resale clause in favour of Chelsea. The bonuses should be difficult to achieve, at least per Matteo Moretto, so the final fee could stay at €38m.
Nkunku will get to work tomorrow, provided all goes well with the medical, and then he will have a lot of time to work with Max Allegri during the international break. He wasn’t called up by France, which is perfect for the Rossoneri.
Good luck Christopher!
If we get Nkunku i guess we are moving more towards 4-2-3-1.
Lol.. Allegri doesn’t think I’m this way though 😂😂
3-5-1-1 he said after todays terrible game
even Boniface with injury is better than Nkunku. terrible transfer.
Nkunku last 5 years.
20/21 7 goals 11 assists
21/22 35 goals, 20 assists
22/23 23 goals, 9 assists
23/24 3 goals, 0 assists, injury season, played only 500 minutes
24/25 15 goals, 5 assists in 2000 minutes.
Healthy, he is Milan’s best player.
But, don’t let that stop you from writing nonsense after you said that Akanji is a Parma or Lecce signing too.
15 goals, where? Against FC Noah, Panathinaikos, Heidenheim, Shamrock Rovers, Servette, Morecambe and Barrow. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pulisic would score 30 if he played against these farmers.
Premier League 910 minutes, 3 goals, 2 assists. Still ok but for example the “out of form” Vlahovic is way ahead of that.
I just checked this. 2 goals and 2 assists came in 2 games against Southampton. They were by far the worst team.
If he is good Chelsea would keep him!!!
And you talk about below acceptable intelligence.
Hey genius, you are hyping up Pulisic, who came from Chelsea to Milan. If he was good Chelsea would have kept him, right?
Milan signed Pulisic from Chelsea after a 1 goal 2 assists season while you are trying to make a case that Nkunku coming from a 15 and 5 Chelsea season is a worse player than Pulisic.
If Pulisic can not be good enough for Chelsea to keep him and come to Milan and be arguably Milan best player why would Nkunku not be able to come to Milan and be the best player when he did better than Pulisic at Chelsea and he was massively better than Pulisic prior to Chelsea.
You should stop responding.
Goals are goals.
What about the 2 years when he had 35 and 20 one year and 23 and 9 the following year?
Were those goals also vs farmers?
Pulisic played in that league and never came close to numbers like that.
Dude you can’t do 2+2, it is a waste of time to “discuss” with you. Can you use basic common sense? How old was Pulisic during playing in Germany? Do 2+2 yourself. It is really easy. And no, goals against those farmers are not the same as Premier League. FC Noah is from Armenia, Shamrock is a mid tier Irish club, Servette a mid tier Swiss club, Morecambe is an 5th league English club, Barrow is 4th tier English club. Are you being serious? Goals are goals. Out of these clubs, half are not even fully professional, postman is the goalkeeper and the local restaurant cook is the top scorer. Nkunku in last 2 seasons, nothing serious. Are we going to check out Van Basten in 1991? Who cares 4 years ago.
I understand you are somehow in love with the player he was, but you can’t present that a hat trick against Morecambe is somehow the same as scoring in Premier League. It is ridiculous, not even close.
Try these 2+2.
If you put Leao’s best season of his career combined with Pulisic best season of his career, together they might have a season as good as Nkunku in 21/22 when he had 35 goals and 20 assists.
35 goals and 20 assists in a top 5 league in Europe plus the champions league. Not farmers league.
All that talk about Pulisic can score 30 vs these farmers is just hypothetical wishful thinking, while Nkunku has already done it.
Who cares about best season? Are you 7 years old? Honestly? Maybe we should ask Hazard to come out of retirement? This is so re*arded that I won’t even bother to reply anymore. Hypothetical wishful thinking is that I want Milan to play these farm clubs to prove a point? I think you are below acceptable intelligence to waste time on. It is not football manager, but real life. He spent more injured than playing since those great seasons in Germany. If he was soo good Chelseas would keep him, but he is not anymore. If you are a fanboy of Nkunku, I don’t care, your thing. But stop being stupid and miss representing the data. It is evident he wasn’t trusted by anyone at Chelsea to even be in a serious Premier League game to make a difference. Because he couldn’t. They are looking to get rid of him this season and didn’t accept loans as they don’t want to see him ever again at Chelsea.
I do not want to get involved in your fight, but Nkunku is 1000 times better than RLC and Musah. If we get Gimenez and Leao to play as strikers, his addition is a upgrade, and we can bench RLC where he deserves to be.
Ok. I can see a lot of people coming here to write stupid sh*t, same like Boniface. Did you write another comment before this, ever? Are you a Milan fan or Nkunku? Because we had a bunch of losers coming here to attack me for saying Boniface is an injury risk (and Nkunku is as well) and they were obviously fans of Boniface and not Milan. Piss off.
And it is 2+2 for people with intelligence, but you don’t have enough. And I am being nice. Go and read what Chelsea fans say about this transfer. They are celebrating and laughing at Milan. Every single one of them, how are those mo*ons paying that much for him. Only a clown can think it is a good transfer for that money. 20M€ tops for Nkunku.

Tare go back to Lazio. disaster mercato.
Anu mpama, ewu Gambia
I agree. Really bad from Furlani and Tare.
Personal opinion, this is not the best acquisition for the striking department. I feel this will be yet another mistake
We still need another sesko/haller type striker.
Can’t help to think that this is a resemblance of CdK or Okafor transfer. When Pioli thought Cdk was an AM, turned out that he’s excelled in a more advanced position. And when he thought he got a CF reinforcement on Okafor, turned that he’s more of Leao deputy.
Well, I hope I’m wrong.
Bonuses difficult to achieve = 5 goals in a season
I think we made a mistake but i hope i’m wrong and i wish him all the best
Of course he wasn’t called up by France, he was mid last season. Played mostly games against farmers where Chelsea didn’t want to risk injuries of important players. Just check the game list and who he scored against, some teams you have to Google to figure out where they’re from. Still, hope I’m wrong.
Pulisic 0 goal face cremonese.
After leao it ‘s a best player milan buy.
Another Nkunku fanboy. This is not Nkunku fansite, pi*s off.
Pino for Vilareal is cheaper and better twice then Nkunku. Crystal Palace buy him. He have 22 years so can some explain me,why we buy alwayes old players and injuri 😂😂😂
Dump owners and managment
A lot of you here panned Pulisic’s signing two years ago. Labeled him a Chelsea flop/reject & expected him to spend more time at the Milan Lab than on the pitch (Same with RLC although he delivered in his first year but failed to repeat the same feat in the second).
The same Puli is now arguably Milan’s best player & definitely the most consistent.
Anyways, welcome Christopher. And good luck.
