According to Romano, RB Leipzig has secured a loan deal for Nkunku worth 3.5 million euros, which includes an option to buy the 28-year-old for around 30 million euros. This move comes after Nkunku played 35 games for AC Milan, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists, but it seems his time in Italy is coming to an end. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Nkunku himself had expressed a desire to return to his former club.
Nkunku's previous stint at RB Leipzig saw him play 172 games, scoring 70 goals and providing 56 assists, before joining Chelsea in 2023. The loan deal marks a return to the German club, where he will likely be reunited with familiar surroundings. The option to buy Nkunku for 30 million euros adds a layer of complexity to the deal, but it seems the midfielder's future lies with RB Leipzig.
