There is further confirmation that RB Leipzig are well ahead of Newcastle in the race for Christopher Nkunku, the forward who is set to leave Milan after Ruben Amorim included him on the list of players who are no longer part of the club’s technical project.
The former Chelsea player failed to convince the Portuguese coach during pre-season, prompting the club to put him on the transfer market, as pointed out via Milannews.it.
In recent days, Newcastle appeared to have overtaken Leipzig in the race for Nkunku, but the German side are now back in pole position to secure the Rossoneri forward. For Nkunku, it would be a return to familiar surroundings, as he previously played for Leipzig from 2019 to 2023 before moving to Chelsea.
