Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan's forward Christopher Nkunku. The French player, 28 years old, recently departed from Chelsea one year ago and could be on the move again this summer. Word has it that three clubs have shown interest in Nkunku, according to a report from Foot Mercato. After his £37m transfer to AC Milan, the forward scored eight goals and provided three assists in 35 games for the Italian club. However, it seems that new manager Ruben Amorim has other priorities in mind.
Foot Mercato understands that Borussia Dortmund has inquired about the French international. While a return to the Bundesliga, where Nkunku previously shone at RB Leipzig, is a possibility, the player's options are not limited to that region. Newcastle United is considered a "serious option" for Nkunku this summer, suggesting the Premier League remains an attractive destination for the forward.
Leipzig is also on the table as another potential destination for Nkunku. Moves to either Turkey or Saudi Arabia, however, seem to be off the table for the player.
