Christopher Nkunku, the Chelsea forward, will join AC Milan in a £36 million deal.
The 27-year-old is expected to take a pay cut for a five-year contract.
The move is a strategic one for Chelsea, who are reshaping their squad and balancing their finances to comply with UEFA rules.
They’ve made an estimated £309 million from player sales this summer, allowing them to pursue new signings, including Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho.
Nkunku leaves Chelsea after a two-year stay, having scored 18 goals and providing five assists in 62 appearances, and contributing to the club’s Club World Cup and Conference League victories.
