  "account": "Christopher Nkunku, the French midfielder, is set to undergo a medical with RB Leipzig on Tuesday after Milan sanctioned his departure in a potential €32 million sale. The footballer spent four successful years at AC Milan between 2019 and 2023. Initial reports suggest that Nkunku could join Leipzig on a season-long loan deal for €4 million with an option to buy for an additional €28 million. Other sources claim the loan fee will be slightly lower, with a higher buy option, resulting in a total package exceeding €30 million. Discussions over the player's salary, estimated at around €5 million per season, continued on Sunday and Monday. Milan has now given the green light for Nkunku to travel for his medical, which could occur as early as Tuesday.",
