AC Milan is preparing for the departure of AC Milan Christopher Nkunku, a 28-year-old French forward, and RB Leipzig has already contacted his representatives to explore his signing before the end of the transfer market. The player is under contract until 2030, but he has been left out of Ruben Amorim's sporting plans for this season.

The German move offers a concrete avenue to resolve his future. Nkunku would be willing to consider a return to Leipzig, where he played between 2019 and 2023, while Milan seeks to recoup a significant part of the investment made just a year ago.

AC Milan Seeks an Exit for Nkunku

Nkunku joined AC Milan in August 2025 from Chelsea. The Italian club signed the Frenchman for five seasons, with the deal amounting to around 42 million euros, after two seasons where he had lost prominence at Stamford Bridge.

His first season in Italy ended with 7 goals and 3 assists in 32 Serie A matches. The forward played 1,356 minutes in the league, starting 15 games, but his performance has not been sufficient to ensure continuity in the new project.

Amorim has made a decision during the preparations for the 2026/27 season. Nkunku is part of the group of transfer-listed players along with Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana, and David Odogu, and has been training separately from the main team.

Milan's current valuation is around 30 million euros. This figure would help mitigate the accounting losses from an operation concluded just twelve months ago and sets the initial scenario for interested clubs.

RB Leipzig Contacts Nkunku's Agent

RB Leipzig has moved from interest to taking the initial steps. The German club has reached out to the player's representatives to understand the terms of a potential deal and prepare for his return to the Bundesliga, as reported by Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto.

Leipzig is familiar with the Frenchman. Nkunku played 172 matches during his initial spell at the club, scoring 70 goals before moving to Chelsea in 2023. His performance in Germany was precisely what led the English side to bet on signing him.

The player himself is open to returning to a team where he had consistency and prominence. Currently, discussions revolve around his representatives, so the next step will be to determine if Leipzig presents a proposal that meets Milan's financial conditions.

Other Clubs Monitoring His Situation

Leipzig is not the only team paying attention to the market. Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle are also among the clubs that have been monitoring the Frenchman's situation in recent days, increasing options for Milan before the window closes.

AC Milan's priority now is to find a solution that resolves Nkunku's situation without incurring a significant loss compared to the 42 million euros invested in 2025. Leipzig's contact with the agent marks the initial step, and future discussions will clarify if a return to Germany can materialize into a formal offer.
