Barcelona seeks talks with ex-Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku
Summary

Barcelona is reportedly in contact with the representatives of Christopher Nkunku, currently at AC Milan, as they search for replacements following the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. Nkunku's situation has changed after Milan coach Ruben Amorim excluded him from future plans. The French forward struggled last season with limited starts and has only managed 11 goal involvements since his transfer from Chelsea. The Catalan club faces a significant challenge with Nkunku's salary demands exceeding €6 million net per year.
