Christopher Nkunku has reached an initial agreement to join AC Milan as the Serie A club prepare a bid to sign the Chelsea forward, according to reports in Italy.
The French forward has attracted plenty of interest this summer with Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Aston Villa all considering a move.
However, Sky Sport Italy report that AC Milan are now leading the race to sign Nkunku and are now in direct talks with Chelsea over a transfer fee.

The report claims that Nkunku has reached a ‘basic agreement’ to join AC Milan and the Italian club, who finished eighth in Serie A last season, are now preparing to submit an offer between €30m and €40m (£25.8m and £34.4m)

‘In case they are not here it means they have found a solution.
‘At the end I think it’s always better if they can find a solution because I think they are going to be more happy and the club the same.’
