Christopher Nkunku set to return to RB Leipzig | OneFootball

Christopher Nkunku has signalled his desire to return to RB Leipzig after a season with AC Milan, according to Sky Germany. RB Leipzig and Milan are discussing a possible loan move with an option to buy, according to the report. Nkunku previously played for Leipzig from 2019 to 2023 after joining from PSG. He was the Bundesliga top scorer in the 2022/23 season with 16 goals before moving to the English Premier League to join Chelsea for €60m. His time in west London was far from ideal as Nkunku was plagued by injuries and failed to replicate the form that saw him become one of the sought-after attackers in Europe. Nkunku’s contract with Milan, where he made 32 league appearances last season, scoring seven goals and assisting three, lasts until 2030. The two clubs are discussing the move, and reports suggest that the 28-year-old French player is set for a return to the Bundesliga, where he will hope to revive his best form having scored 70 and created a further 56 in 172 appearances during his first stint.GGFN | Brook Genene
