One Chelsea star has been offered to FC Barcelona by his agent. This confirms that the player is very likely to move away from Stamford Bridge. It will be interesting to see if Barca are ready to take chances mid-season.
The Blues star in question here is Christopher Nkunku. Nkunku joined the West London club last season from Leipzig. But he was very unfortunate as he missed the most of the last season due to injuries.
Nkunku to leave Chelsea in January?
Nkunku has stayed injury free this season and is performing very well. But the 27 year old is still way behind in the pecking order. In addition, he has to play as a striker in order to get game time. This is not his preferred position.
The France international has 12 goals and 4 assists in 24 games this season. He has played 16 Premier League games but has only started in 2 of those. Nkunku will not want to spend most of his time on bench especially at the peak years of his career.
There are reports stating that the 27 year old is open to leave in January. Earlier, he was being linked with Manchester United whereas PSG were also showing interest. Now, the player has been offered to Spanish giants.
Nkunku being offered to FC Barcelona
According to Diario Sport, Nkunku is being offered to Barcelona by his agent Pini Zahavi. This confirms that the player is ready to move away from Stamford Bridge in order to get more game time. But, it will depend on what Barca think about the situation.

Barca are having financial crises right now. They are having it hard to register Dani Olmo for the second half of the season. Hence, it may prove very hard for them to sign another player in the mid-season. But, even if Barca don’t make move for Nkunku, the Chelsea star will still have plenty other suitors who will be keen to add such a talented attacker to their squad.
