Chelsea only have a few days left of the transfer window, and there are still exits that Enzo Maresca is pushing for. 

With the club still hoping to bring in Alejandro Garnacho and/or Xavi Simons, offloads need to happen. 

Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku are the two biggest names slated to leave this late in the window. 

One Serie A side is closing in on one of Chelsea's outcasts, with a deal hopefully wrapping up soon for Chelsea. 

Which Chelsea outcast is close to a move to the Serie A?

As exclusively reported by Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan is advancing in their approach for Nkunku.

Nkunku wants the move to Milan, making personal terms easy to agree on.

Chelsea want around £43m for Nkunku, although the London club could once again change their asking price to offload the forward. 

Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have also shown interest in Nkunku this summer, but Bayern have since turned their attention to Chelsea's Jackson. 

Nkunku scored just 3 league goals last season, and the additions of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro pushed Nkunku even further down the pecking order.
