Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are reportedly interested in bringing back French striker Christopher Nkunku, according to Sportitalia transfer expert Gianluigi Longari. The 28-year-old Nkunku left Leipzig for AC Milan in a deal worth over €30 million last summer, when he was signed from Chelsea. Milan may now be considering loaning Nkunku out, as they have no plans to keep him permanently.
Reports suggest that Newcastle and Aston Villa have also shown interest in signing Nkunku. The French forward scored eight goals and provided three assists in 35 appearances across all competitions during his time at Milan last season. His current contract with the Rossoneri expires in June 2030.
Nkunku previously played for RB Leipzig from 2019 to 2023, scoring 70 goals in 172 games for the German club. Before his move to Milan, the 28-year-old had a stint at Bologna FC. Leipzig had previously shown interest in Nkunku, but Milan was reportedly hesitant to let him leave on loan.
