Christopher Nkunku, a 28-year-old French forward, emerges as an option in the transfer market for FC Barcelona to strengthen their attack following Ferran Torres' departure. Exploratory contacts have already been made with the AC Milan player's entourage, although his salary of around 6 million euros poses a hurdle for the deal.

The Frenchman has an open exit route from Milan after not fitting into Rúben Amorim's plans for the new season. Nkunku is under contract until 2030, so any signing would also require reaching an agreement with the Italian club.

Christopher Nkunku, an option being considered by FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona has started studying the signing of Christopher Nkunku after the departure of Ferran Torres to Paris Saint-Germain. The exit of the Spanish international leaves a gap in the attacking line, forcing the sports management to assess alternatives during the final stretch of the transfer market.

The initial steps remain exploratory. Barça has reached out to the player's entourage to understand the conditions for a possible transfer, but deems his current salary, around 6 million euros per season, as high.

Nkunku arrived at AC Milan just a year ago from Chelsea. The Italian club then made an investment of around 37 million euros plus variables and secured the forward until June 2030.

His first season in Italy concluded with 8 goals in 35 games. Despite these figures, his situation has shifted during preseason, prompting Milan to consider offers to facilitate his departure in this transfer window.

AC Milan opens the door to his exit

Rúben Amorim's arrival on the bench has resulted in direct consequences for Christopher Nkunku. The coach does not count on the Frenchman, with his attitude in some training sessions failing to convince due to the intensity displayed.

Nkunku was excluded from the friendly against Manchester United, another sign of [his current position within the squad](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/amorim-limpieza-20260814.html). In recent hours, he was also seen at Milan airport, though his trip was for personal reasons, not indicating any finalized deal yet.

The scenario opens doors for potential buyers. For Barcelona, it is not only about Milan allowing negotiations but also about aligning the forward's personal economic terms with the club's salary parameters to complete the squad.

Nkunku wants to leave Milan

A move to Barça would also mark Nkunku's debut in LaLiga. The Frenchman has navigated his career through France, Germany, England, and Italy, with spells at PSG, RB Leipzig, Chelsea, and AC Milan, yet has not competed in Spain until now.

The market will determine if initial contacts progress to negotiations. Barcelona must decide whether to move forward after understanding Milan's and the player's conditions, while other clubs are also monitoring his situation. For Christopher Nkunku to land in LaLiga, resolving his 6 million euro salary and Milan's economic terms will be key.
