Milan Transfer Market: Three Imminent Sales for Over 50 Million Euros

It’s a race against time for Milan’s transfer team, which needs to finalize several deals—both signings and departures—before the transfer window closes. The sales are particularly crucial, as they’re necessary to secure the final signings: the situation regarding three surplus players could be resolved in the coming hours.

Santiago Gimenez is now very close to joining Porto. According to the latest rumors, “El Bebote” has reached an agreement with Porto on a contract running through 2030, and negotiations between the two clubs are proceeding swiftly: reports suggest a loan deal with an option to buy set at 20 million euros. The Mexican forward, who has been a disappointment in the Rossoneri colors, has been dropped by Ruben Amorim along with other players on the roster.

Christopher Nkunku, one of Milan’s most sought-after players, is also on his way out. According to reports in the English media, several Premier League clubs have expressed interest in the former Chelsea forward, and among them is Newcastle, which is said to have reached a verbal agreement with the player’s agents on contract terms. Now the Magpies must negotiate with the Rossoneri, who want at least 30 million euros for Nkunku and hope that the interest generated by the various clubs will lead to a bidding war to drive the price even higher.

The third player on the verge of leaving is David Odogu: the young German defender does not fit into the plans of Amorim and Milan, but he could remain in Italy. In fact, Bologna is on his trail and ready to make a serious move for him. According to calciomercato.it, the Rossoblù’s head coach, Domenico Tedesco, wants him: the player could arrive on loan with an option to buy for a fee yet to be determined.
