Turkish club Fenerbahçe has opened official negotiations with AC Milan to sign French striker Christopher Nkunku during the winter transfer window, but the Italian club shows no flexibility except in the case of a final deal, according to the website "Football Italia."

According to consistent reports, Fenerbahçe is ready to meet Milan's financial demand of 35 million euros, but refuses to include defender Milan Škriniar in the deal, despite Rossoneri's interest in the player, as the Turkish club insists on keeping its defensive captain.

Meanwhile, Milan stresses its position of not discussing any option other than a permanent sale, rejecting the idea of a loan or swap deals, if it decides to let Nkunku go during the current transfer window.

On the other hand, the French player does not seem enthusiastic about leaving, as several sources indicate that Nkunku prefers to stay with Milan at present, especially since he joined the team only a few months ago and does not wish to leave San Siro during January.
