RB Leipzig have reached a verbal agreement with AC Milan to sign Christopher Nkunku on loan, with the French forward now set to return to the Bundesliga club.
The agreement includes a €3.5 million loan fee and a buy option clause set slightly below €30 million. Documents are now being exchanged between the clubs as they work towards completing the remaining formalities.
Softfootball reported two days ago that Leipzig had emerged as the favorites for Nkunku’s signature, with the Bundesliga club pushing strongly to bring back their former star.
Nkunku’s preference has been crucial in the negotiations. The forward wanted to return to Leipzig after assessing the proposals available to him, and an agreement has now been reached in principle.
The move would see Nkunku return to the club where he enjoyed some of the best football of his career, with Leipzig now closing in on an agreement to reunite with the Frenchman.
