Christopher Nkunku played for AC Milan for only one season before being placed in the loft by Ruben Amorim, according to L'Équipe Football. The French attacker, who was on loan to RB Leipzig with an option to buy, will face Como in the first match of the Champions League. Nkunku was recruited by AC Milan for 37 million euros plus 5 million euros in bonus, making him the most expensive player in the club's history.
Nkunku had a productive season at AC Milan, scoring 0.46 goals per 90 minutes played, making him the most prolific player at the club last season. However, he was sent to the loft by Ruben Amorim at the end of the transfer window. Nkunku has now returned to RB Leipzig, where he had previously played from 2019 to 2023, scoring 70 goals in 172 matches.
