RB Leipzig have reached an agreement in principle with AC Milan for the transfer of Christopher Nkunku, bringing the French forward closer to a return to Germany. The 28-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at San Siro under head coach Ruben Amorim, paving the way for his former club to secure a deal that includes an initial loan with an option to make the move permanent.

Christopher Nkunku has surprisingly been informed he can leave AC Milan after head coach Ruben Amorim deemed the French attacker surplus to requirements. Roma are now actively monitoring the player's uncertain situation and could propose a sensational swap deal involving their talented Argentine playmaker Matias Soule.

Ruben Amorim has wasted no time in making his mark at AC Milan, reportedly identifying several high-profile stars for an immediate summer exit. Following a series of underwhelming displays during the club's pre-season tour, the Portuguese tactician has held crunch talks with ownership to finalise his squad plans.

Four years into BlueCo's so-called 'project' at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have spent some £1.9 BILLION ($2.5bn) on new signings, and a haphazard approach to the transfer market means there have been some absolute clangers among them. For every success story, like Cole Palmer or Moises Caicedo, there have been multiple monumental and costly failures.
