Milan, Nkunku and Dovbyk: market for the attack, the figures

The negotiation swelling quickly, like the balloons in which Christopher Nkunku blows when he scores a goal. In the last 24 hours AC Milan has put aside the deal Conrad Harder, center forward with the wide shoulders of Sporting Lisbon, and started running for Nkunku, striker with the rapid legs of Chelsea. Two different types. Are we at the final turning point? Calm, the Milan market was crazy, with sudden changes of idea, and there is more than one candidate. In addition to Nkunku, an eye also to Artem Dovbyk, which Milan could take definitive (if Nkunku will not arrive) or, more likely, on loan from Rome. In this case, a double operation is possible.

How much it costs nkunku

In these hours Nkunku is the main candidate and for him there will be news soon, in one sense or another. The occasion is clear, evident. Nkunku is a strong footballer, in the Leipzig between 2021 and 2023 he scored 58 goals, scattered between two seasons. He hit the world with speed, the speed of execution, the ability to surprise an out of balance defender. Chelsea two years ago took him for over 60 million, in a classic operation from Era-Boehly: a young player, on the rise, at a very high price. That price inevitably went down, a lot has come down. The negotiation is all to be defined but it is conceivable that NKUNKU can be transferred for 35-40 million. Chelsea basically has been looking for a solution for him since January and prefers a definitive transfer: the regulation still allows only one loan and in the squad there are several outgoing players.

Nkunku and Chelsea

The relationship between Chelsea and Nkunku – specifically, between Maresca and Nkunku – is, as they say, went to the south. Worsened, ruined. Nkunku wants to leave, a Champions League team would be ideal for him – Bayern has informed himself and treated it – but Milan always has great charm. Rather, three themes impose themselves on attention: the injuries, the engagement, the characteristics. Nkunku got hurt in the summer of 2023 and lost most of that season. In the last championship, however, between benches and appearances as a starter there was continuously. Milan, burned by the Boniface case, currency. The engagement, with the Chelsea standards, is theme to be managed: logical that it is necessary to find an agreement of around 5 million. The characteristics, however, do not change. Nkunku is obviously not a buoy but in attack it is everywhere, at Leipzig he played as a central striker, with Chelsea he was also one of the two men behind a tip. At Milan it would give speed, counterattacks, unpredictability. Ability to raise the team, much less.

Dovbyk and the loan

–

A 9 pure, here, would be Artem Dovbyk. Milan informed the center forward of Rome, who has a great value, the numbers: 24 goals in a championship in Spain, 12 in his first season at Rome. The idea is to try to borrow it, a not simple but not impossible way: Dovbyk at Rome is no longer a first choice – the first choice is now Ferguson – and it is certainly not uninhabrabed. The problem, for Milan, is the chain reaction. To free him, Roma should find another striker, in a classic class of the excited market.

jumped harder

Remember something? Well, Conrad Harder recalls. The center forward (reserve) of Sporting 48 hours ago was virtually Milan, then Sporting did not end the agreement with the Panathinaikos for Fotis Ioannidis, the agents asked for something more and Milan thought about it. Harder today is destined for another life, perhaps to the Rennes who was about to take it before Milan called, perhaps in Lisbon for a change of screenplay from film, in which a boy imagines changing cities, life, perspective on the world and then everything, suddenly, is taken away by the wind. Like a thought, like a balloon.
