Milan Seeks Permanent Sale of Nkunku Amid Interest from Newcastle and Leipzig
Serie A club Milan is looking to offload attacker Christopher Nkunku, who has garnered attention from Newcastle United. However, RB Leipzig is currently making strides towards securing a deal.
MilanNews reports that the Rossoneri are expecting formal proposals for the French forward, with both the Magpies and the German side actively pursuing him.

Gianluca Di Marzio has reported that Leipzig has initiated discussions regarding Nkunku. They have reached out to his representatives and are looking to structure a deal that begins with a loan option followed by an obligation to buy.
This arrangement is not favorable for Milan, who prefer to sell the player outright for a fee of €35 million.
As of now, Nkunku has not made a definitive choice regarding his future, with reports indicating that more teams, potentially including Newcastle United, could be competing for the 28-year-old’s signature.
Milan Aims to Maximize Transfer Value
Milan invested a considerable sum in Nkunku last summer, and given the short time period since his signing, they believe his market value remains high. Consequently, they are firm on maintaining their asking price, a strategy that appears rational.

Serie A side Milan are now keen on selling attacker Christopher Nkunku, who has attracted interest from Newcastle United. But for now, RB Leipzig are making advances over a move.

Gianluca Di Marzio has reported further, claiming that Leipzig have made an initial approach for Nkunku. They have made contact with his entourage and are now attempting to sign him on an initial loan deal with the option to buy.
This formula doesn’t suit Milan, who are only looking to sell him permanently for a fee of €35 million.
The player hasn’t made a final decision about his next club yet, with the report also indicating that other clubs — possibly like Newcastle United, could be in the race for the 28-year-old’s signature.
Milan want to avoid loss
Milan paid a significant amount for Nkunku last summer and since it has only been a year, they would believe his stock hasn’t dropped significantly. That is why they would be adamant in keeping their valuation for him high and that stance does make sense.
