Christopher Nkunku received advances from several clubs in January, particularly in Turkey. He stated he never thought about leaving. The player said his agent did not discuss offers with him, and for that reason, he considered them to be rumors. He added that he did not ask his agent to seek other opportunities or to approach other clubs, because he only wanted to be ready to perform at Milan.

Christopher Nkunku was placed on the transfer list by the management, Furlani-Ibra, in order to bring in Mateta, but the deal did not proceed due to Mateta's knee problems. Coach Allegri and director Tare supported Nkunku's wish to stay.

Christopher Nkunku has informed his management that he wants to continue in Lombardy, according to Sky Sport. Nkunku has decided against a departure this winter, as the French international wants to establish himself in the Milan project despite strong competition in the offensive sector.

According to CalcioMercato, Milan is open to selling Nkunku, and he remains on the market in the last days of the winter transfer window. The former Chelsea striker has not fully convinced the technical staff and the ownership, despite having a good January with 4 goals and 2 assists. The ownership reportedly expects a different performance from Nkunku due to the high costs of his transfer fee and salary. The club's intensified pursuit of Mateta suggests there is room for additional changes in the attack.
