Milan move away from Harder, already eyeing Sporting striker’s replacement | OneFootball

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 the SAD of Frederico Varandas will only allow their 'number 9' to travel to Italy once they have secured his successor, who is expected to be Fotis Ioannidis.

Anticipating that the deal with the green and whites could drag on, according to information from the newspaper Record, the Rossoneri have turned their attention to Christopher Nkunku, the striker from Chelsea, and aim to close the transfer as quickly as possible.

Milan intends to make an offer 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 around 60M to part with their 'number 18'.

Regarding the player's own wishes, Christopher Nkunku views his transfer to the Rossoneri favorably. As proof of this, the French international has agreed to lower his salary to below 5 million euros annually 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 another two in the English League Cup. In 2,328 minutes of play, he recorded 15 goals and five assists.
