Milan's transfer market enters its crucial phase with the sale of Christopher Nkunku to RB Leipzig, a strategic move that reshapes Rúben Amorim's attack this summer. The French forward, born in 1997, had been placed on manager Amorim's list of definite departures together with David Odogu (later loaned to Toulouse), Fikayo Tomori and Youssouf Fofana (for whom a solution is still being sought). The player arrived in Germany last night to undergo medical examinations with the Red Bull club, marking his farewell to the Rossoneri colours after just one season at San Siro.

Nkunku's experience at the Red Bull Arena recalls the outstanding numbers of his first Bundesliga spell (2019-2023): 70 goals and 56 assists in 172 total appearances with the Saxony shirt. The performance peak came in the golden two-year period between 2021 and 2023, highlighted by 58 total goals and the title of German league top scorer, shared equally with Niclas Füllkrug at 16 goals. Those figures had driven the Rossoneri to invest, a year ago, once they learned Chelsea would release him.
