Christopher Nkunku close to returning to RB Leipzig: negotiations advanced with AC Milan
According to Florian Plettenberg, negotiations between AC Milan and RB Leipzig for Christopher Nkunku are underway, with a preliminary agreement involving a loan of €3M plus €27M option to buy.
The future of Christopher Nkunku seems to be taking a significant turn as negotiations between AC Milan and RB Leipzig have progressed, according to reports from several journalists, including Florian Plettenberg and Fabrizio Romano. Both agree that the 28-year-old French forward is close to returning to Germany, which could mark a new chapter in his career.
Nkunku, currently a player for AC Milan, plays as a centre-forward and has shown impressive performance at the Italian club. With a market value of €25 million, his contract runs until June 30, 2030. However, it appears that his desire to return to the Bundesliga has driven the discussions between the clubs.
The operation, which could be finalized through a loan of €3 million plus a €27 million option to buy, would mean a return to a familiar environment for Nkunku, who had a successful stint at RB Leipzig before moving to Milan. For AC Milan, this move could help restructure their squad, while Leipzig would benefit from bringing back a player who already knows their system and has proven his quality.
In addition to Plettenberg, Santi Aouna has also confirmed that a preliminary agreement has been reached between both clubs, reinforcing the idea that negotiations are in an advanced stage. However, there is still a way to go before the transfer is finalized.
