Deal between the Italians and Alvalade Club may fall through, despite the values already having been agreed upon

With the negotiation process for Conrad Hader delaying with Sporting, Milan has already turned its attention to a new reinforcement

Milan has already found a plan B for Conrad Harder. The negotiation process for the Danish forward from Sporting has become complicated in the last few hours, as Frederico Varandas' SAD only lets their 'number 9' travel to Italy when his successor is guaranteed, which seems to be Fotis Ioannidis.

Anticipating that the conclusion of the deal with the green and whites may drag on, according to information advanced by the Record newspaper, the rossoneri have turned their attention to Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea's striker, and intend to close the transfer as quickly as possible.

Milan intends to move forward with a proposal between 35M and 40 million euros for the 27-year-old French forward. However, the deal is not expected to be easy, as the blues' management wants to receive an amount of about 60M to give up their 'number 18'.

As for the player's own will, Christopher Nkunku sees his transfer to the rossoneri favorably. As proof of this, the French international has agreed to lower his salary to values below 5 million euros per year to move to San Siro.

Still without appearances for Chelsea this new season, Christopher Nkunku - valued at 35 million euros - played 48 games for the blues, in 2024/25: 27 in the Premier League, 11 in the Conference League, six in the Club World Cup, two in the FA Cup and two in the English League Cup. In the 2,328 minutes of use, he recorded 15 goals and five assists.
