"The hasty pivot to Niclas Füllkrug in the winter transfer window confirms this error of judgment. Finally, Allegri has always seen Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic as the starting pairing, which has left Nkunku with relatively few starting opportunities. Hence, after all of this, the club's decision to put him on the market has come."
Milan placed Christopher Nkunku on the transfer list after discussions with his agent Pini Zahavi, aiming to earn €40m from a summer sale. His move followed a €37m (plus bonuses) transfer from Chelsea. He arrived at Milanello after missing the entire Chelsea summer training camp, leaving him without match rhythm. When he began to thrive early in 2026, Milan’s overall form regressed, and his individual output declined while strikers received less service. He was also used as an alternative centre-forward despite a career history mainly as a winger or second striker/attacking midfielder. Limited starting opportunities behind Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic further reduced his impact.
