City, State/Country – Ehn, as August wan dey waka come to an end, AC Milan don sharp-sharp enter transfer market to grab Chelsea forward, Christopher Nkunku. Dem don start to yan with Chelsea, and it be like say the move no go be small wahala.
According to gist wey come from The Athletic, Nkunku don attract plenty interest, no be only from Milan, but also Bayern Munich and his former squad, RB Leipzig. As Chelsea no wan loan am, both di player and di club dey favour permanent transfer instead. Na last year dem don dey eye am, and now, the time don reach to settle matter.
Nkunku don miss Chelsea’s first two games for di Premier League, e mean say dem don already give am brain, say him fit pack him load come out for Stamford Bridge. Since him join Chelsea for 2023 with over €60 million, him no really shine well for di team; e jst score 14 goals out of 43 matches last season.
On di other hand, Milan too get their own wahala. Dem don decide say dem no go sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface after him medical, and dem also check Conrad Harder, but na Nkunku dem don put eye on now. E go make sense if dem fit pull dis transfer through before di window close.
Since Nkunku dey on di hot seat, clubs for Germany, Italy and England don dey show interest, and Chelsea don put am for €50 million (£43.2 million; $58.2 million) price tag. For di beginning of dis year, dem don price am like £65 million. Talk about inflation, e no dey play!
Last season, Nkunku was part of Chelsea’s journey through di Club World Cup, featuring in six matches and scoring once. But di boy don feel di pressure of competing with new signings like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. E fit feel like say e dey miss his rhythm with all dis new guys stacking up for forward.
But why Milan wan sign am? Dem don finish eighth for Serie A last season, no dey sweet at all for dem, and dem don lose their first match for dis season too. Na why dem dey rush to sign Nkunku, fit bring fire back to di team.
As this transfer saga dey unfold, Chelsea fans go dey watch am closely; dem go want know wetin go happen if Nkunku go shine for Milan. Would dem regret say dem let am go? Time go tell, but for now, e be like say all is set for Christopher Nkunku to start new chapter for AC Milan. Omo, football na serious matter o!
