Nkunku Linked with RB Leipzig Amidst Milan Exit Speculation

AC Milan's transfer market activity for outgoing players is yet to gain significant momentum. While loan deals for players like Athekame to Lyon and Odogu to Toulouse have been completed, they have not generated revenue. The focus has now shifted to Leao and Nkunku.

For Portuguese player Leao, beyond the interest from Galatasaray, which has not seen a renewed offer, the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia has resurfaced. Al-Hilal, managed by Simone Inzaghi, is reportedly in contact with agent Mendes to potentially reunite Leao with Theo Hernandez in Riyadh. A fee of €50 million is being cited for this potential transfer.

In Nkunku's case, a figure of €30 million is being discussed, with a loan deal that includes an option to buy also being a possibility. This is the scenario that RB Leipzig might propose. However, the 1998-born player is said to be keen on exploring other options before considering a return to Germany. Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United have also registered their interest in Nkunku.

Loan Opportunities

Several other players could potentially leave AC Milan on loan. Gimenez is reportedly in talks with Porto. Following the sale of Mora to Roma, Porto has proposed a free loan deal for Gimenez with a low purchase option. However, AC Milan's ownership, represented by Cardinale, is seeking a significant improvement on this offer.

Como is interested in Ricci, but AC Milan is not open to a loan deal without a mandatory purchase clause. Juventus, through their sporting director Massara, has inquired about the availability of Fofana and Tomori for a transfer, but no official offers have been made yet. Bondo, who has been excluded from the squad since the start of pre-season, is attracting interest from Rennes and Lens, with loan deals including an option to buy also being discussed for him.

English Translation

AC Milan's outgoing transfer market has yet to accelerate significantly. Dry loan deals for Athekame to Lyon and Odogu to Toulouse, in fact, have not generated revenue. The spotlight is now on Leao and Nkunku. For the Portuguese player, in addition to the Galatasaray track, on which however there has been no renewed offer, the hypothesis of Saudi Arabia has resurfaced, with Simone Inzaghi's Al-Hilal in contact with Mendes to reform the pair with Theo Hernandez in Riyadh: €50 million are needed. For Nkunku, on the other hand, €30 million are needed, with a possible solution also on loan with an option to buy: this is what RB Leipzig could propose, even though the 1998-born player would like to try to explore other avenues before returning to Germany; Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle are also registering their interest in him.

Loans

Many others could then leave AC Milan on loan. Gimenez is in contact with Porto: after the sale of Mora to Roma, the Portuguese club has proposed a free loan to Milan with a purchase option at low figures, but Cardinale would like a significant improvement on the offer. Como would like Ricci, but Milan is not open to a loan without an obligation. Juventus, through sporting director Massara, has sounded out the availability of Fofana and Tomori for a transfer, but official offers have not yet been formulated. Bondo, out of the squad since the start of pre-season, is liked by Rennes and Lens, always on loan with an option to buy.
