A last-minute chance! Manchester United could pull off a blockbuster transfer from Italy

Manchester United may capitalize on a sudden twist in the transfer market right at the window's close.

Details: According to renowned insider Ben Jacobs, Milan are open to offers for French forward Christopher Nkunku. This gives the Red Devils a prime opportunity to seal a deal at the eleventh hour.

United's interest in the 28-year-old striker first emerged during talks with Chelsea regarding Alejandro Garnacho's potential move. Back then, Manchester United's executives closely monitored the Frenchman's situation, but now a direct transfer from the Italian club could be on the cards.

It's worth noting that Christopher Nkunku joined Milan from Chelsea in the summer of 2025. During the 2025/26 season, the French striker made 35 appearances for the Rossoneri across all competitions, netting 8 goals and providing 3 assists. Respected portal Transfermarkt currently values the forward at €25 million.
