Nkunku: The current physical condition is definitely not in the best position. I want to play football with Modric the most

As the transfer window is about to close this summer, Milan spent 37 million euros to sign Nkunku from Chelsea, and the Frenchman became one of the most expensive signings in the history of the Ross and Blacks. In an interview with DAZN, Nkunku talked about several topics about Milan and his career.

About Milan, choosing Milan is an easy thing, because it is a great club with a long history. In my opinion, the club's future plans are very suitable for me, and I can't wait to start a new life. I think it's the best time to transfer from Chelsea to here and I'm very happy with my choice.

First impressions about Italy

Everything is new to me and I need to discover it myself. I'm so happy to be playing here and feel the atmosphere because it's different from other countries. I have talked to Maresca, and he said good things about Italy and Serie A.

What are the expectations for new teams and new teammates?

I want to understand step by step. Now most of my teammates are on the national team and we are training, and when they come back I will start to get to know them and train with them. Two weeks later (should be a week later) we have a game and I think every game is important. But the most important thing at the moment is to be prepared and stay in shape.

About my physical condition

I am certainly not in my best shape at the moment, but I am working on it and soon I will be ready to play.

The first memory of Milan

Speaking of players, I will think of Kaka, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic. I worked with Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain, and I worked with Thiago Silva at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. I talked to the latter and he was very happy about my arrival.

What I learned from Ibrahimovic

Ibrahimovic's career is based on his personality and he taught me to maintain a high standard in every training and competition, which is the mentality of success.

There is no special one about which new teammate you want to play with most. The most important thing is the team, and every player has an important role. But if one must be said, it is Modric. I've never played with him and we all know how great he is.

About fighting side by side with Leo

We met in the locker room. Leo is very good in French, so we can chat together.
