Aston Villa explores transfer for AC Milan forward Christopher Nkunku

Aston Villa has inquired about a potential transfer for AC Milan forward Christopher Nkunku, as confirmed by Onze Mondial. Nkunku, 28, has reportedly been placed on the transfer list by manager Ruben Amorim and is also attracting interest from several clubs, including Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund. After joining AC Milan from Chelsea for €37 million last year, Nkunku made 35 appearances last season, scoring eight goals. His performances in pre-season, including a goal against Inter Milan, did not convince Amorim of his value for the upcoming season, leading to the inquiries regarding his transfer status. AC Milan may consider a loan option for Nkunku.
