Christopher Nkunku was AC Milan’s most expensive signing of the summer transfer window. The Frenchman arrived from Chelsea for just over 40 million euros (including bonuses) to complete Max Allegri’s attacking lineup, which now has Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez available and in form.
Nkunku is working to close the athletic gap with his new teammates, and he has used the past ten days at Milanello to the fullest, giving the coach and staff the results they expected.
Training, gym, and redemption: Nkunku wants to earn his keep at Milan...
After assessing his physical condition in last week’s tests, Milan’s medical staff prepared a tailored plan for Nkunku to bring him back to full form.
He is not doing extra sessions compared with teammates staying at Milanello, but he has personalized sessions both in the gym and on the field. The goal is to fuel his muscles without overloading them, since explosiveness is his most valuable trait.
He has refused to take it easy during the break, often coming to Milanello even on days off to avoid wasting time. Nkunku wants to win over Milan and make the most of the opportunity he has been given. He is leaving nothing to chance, convinced that the Rossoneri environment and club are the perfect place to make an impact again and win trophies, which has always been his strength throughout his career.
