Christopher Nkunku has ignited debate among football fans after making a bold declaration about AC Milan just months after leaving Chelsea, insisting he never considered a January exit and calling the Rossoneri the “biggest club in Italy.”
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, the French forward dismissed any speculation surrounding his future and underlined his commitment to Milan’s long-term project.
“I never considered leaving AC Milan in January, no way,” Nkunku said. “AC Milan are the biggest club in Italy and here we want to win titles. I want to be here. It’s been an easy choice.”
Nkunku’s words have quickly attracted attention, particularly from Chelsea supporters, given his struggles for consistent form and fitness during his time at Stamford Bridge. Signed with huge expectations from RB Leipzig, the attacker endured an injury-hit spell in England and failed to establish himself as a guaranteed starter.
Now in Milan, Nkunku appears revitalised and confident, embracing both the club’s ambition and its historic stature. His declaration that Milan are the biggest club in Italy has already divided opinion, with fans of Juventus and Inter questioning the claim, while Rossoneri supporters see it as proof of his growing loyalty.
