Sky Germany: Nkunku to RB Leipzig a ‘done deal’ – the details

RB Leipzig have won the race to sign Christopher Nkunku as a deal with AC Milan has been agreed according to a report in Germany.

Over the past few days there have been numerous destinations mentioned as being possibilities for Nkunkun, who has been excluded from the plans by head coach Ruben Amorim. However, it has always seemed as though a return to RB Leipzig has been the most likely option.

Fabrizio Romano reported last night that the Bundesliga side had convinced the Frenchman to return. As a reminder, Nkunku had a highly successful time there, even finishing as the joint-top scorer in the league alongside Niclas Füllkrug in 2022-23.

“Loan deal with an option to buy now agreed. Last details. Deal set to be finalised in the next 2-3 days.”

The likes of Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund have also been mentioned as potential destinations for the former Chelsea man, as have Newcastle United. However, it seems a return to Germany is on the cards.
