"Massimiliano Allegri will put his faith in Christopher Nkunku tomorrow night, but it may be his final opportunity to shine for AC Milan. When Nkunku signed, he did not really cover what Milan needed. Allegri had been asking for a physical striker all summer, and the Frenchman isn't that, nor was he ever. Instead, he was another second striker option."
"Nkunku's fate As Tuttosport (via MilanNews24) write this morning, the game against Napoli could be his 'final call' for the Rossoneri. Allegri will give him another chance in the Supercoppa Italiana, but with another striker on the way, his chance is fading."
"If he can help his team get through and even win the competition, maybe he can restart for the Rossoneri. However, if it is another showing like his season so far, questions will only get louder about his future. The mercato, as is reported, is a long way off. So he has time to show his true self, but it is not far enough away to not worry about..."
Massimiliano Allegri will start Christopher Nkunku tomorrow, but the appearance may be Nkunku's final opportunity to impress for AC Milan. Nkunku did not match the club's stated need for a physical striker and has functioned as a second-striker option. Reports credit Giorgio Furlani and Chelsea relations with facilitating the transfer, yet the club may soon reopen negotiations over the French forward. The Napoli Supercoppa Italiana match is framed as a 'final call' with a new striker on the way, making Nkunku's chances increasingly precarious. The mercato remains distant, giving Nkunku limited time to change perceptions.
