Milan put Nkunku up for sale after 37m Chelsea deal fails to deliver

France international Nkunku faces a summer exit from Milan, as the Rossoneri are disappointed with his contribution in the 2025-26 campaign.

As reported by TMW, Nkunku’s signing did not satisfy coach Massimiliano Allegri, who expected to welcome a classic, more physical centre-forward.
