Chelsea agree €35m deal for striker sale

Chelsea have agreed to part ways with Christopher Nkunku to AC Milan for €35 million including add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Frenchman has had a frustrating career with the Blues and he played second fiddle to Nicolas Jackson upfront during the previous campaign.

Nkunku has now been allowed to leave on a cut-price deal to the Rossoneri following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro in the squad.

Jackson is likely to follow Nkunku through the exit door soon.

The Senegal international has agreed personal terms with Bayern Munich and negotiations are ongoing over a season-long loan agreement.

The Blues want an obligation to buy at the end of the campaign, but Bayern prefer a straight loan deal to analyse the striker's performance.

With the transfer deadline approaching, Chelsea need to make a quick decision on Jackson, who has become their third-choice striker.

Alongside Jackson, club graduate Tyrique George could depart too. AS Roma are negotiating a permanent deal with a huge sell-on clause.
