Milan have been named by L’Equipe as one of the clubs interested in RB Leipzig hitman Christopher Nkunku, along with Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona.
The France international has been simply a sensation this season, scoring 34 goals in 49 competitive games for RB Leipzig, along with contributing 19 assists for his teammates.
He proved instrumental in eliminating Atalanta from the Europa League quarter-final too.
Nkunku was signed from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 for €13m and reports suggest his price-tag is now pushing €100m.
According to L’Equipe, Milan are among the contenders for the 24-year-old’s signature, along with Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona.
The Rossoneri usually shy away from big transfers, but talks for a takeover from either Investcorp or RedBird, as well as their Champions League qualification, are fuelling hopes they can make a splash on the market this summer with a statement signing.
Calciomercato.com also see Milan pursuing Nkunku as the player who could really take them to another level, especially for his tactical versatility that allows him to play as a trequartista, a False 9 or on the wing.
