Christopher Nkunku previously spent four years with RB Leipzig before joining Chelsea, and he is now due in Germany for a Tuesday medical as the Bundesliga side edge closer to bringing him back from AC Milan. Contract formalities are expected to follow if the medical goes smoothly, although the move remains pending rather than complete at this stage.
- Nkunku is scheduled for medical tests in Germany on Tuesday, 25 August.
- AC Milan remain his current employers, meaning the transfer is not yet complete.
- The proposed move is a loan with an option to buy, though the reported figures are yet to be finalised.
The Transfer Status Between AC Milan and RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig are preparing for Nkunku’s return after his spell at AC Milan, with contract formalities expected if the medical is completed without issue.
Nkunku joined Leipzig in 2019 and spent four hugely successful years at the club before moving on to Chelsea, making this a familiar route back to an environment where he previously thrived rather than a fresh start in unknown surroundings. He is also understood to have favoured a return to Leipzig despite reported interest from Premier League clubs.
Nkunku featured in AC Milan’s 2-1 Serie A win over Torino on 23 August, while RB Leipzig come into this week on the back of a resounding 6-0 DFB-Pokal victory over Eintracht Trier.
