Paris Saint-Germain explored bringing Christopher Nkunku back during the winter transfer window. Nonetheless, the Ligue 1 side ultimately opted not to make a formal bid. The French forward stayed at Chelsea, though speculation about a possible summer departure hasn’t disappeared.
Nkunku moved to Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million. However, injuries and stiff competition have made it tough for him to secure a regular spot in the starting XI, and his future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain.
According to journalistBen Jacobs, PSG considered a deal but backed off. Bayern Munich also chose not to make a move in January, thoughSport Bild’s Christian Falk reports the German club could revisit the situation later this year.
TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, recentlyshared the latest on Nkunku’s future, noting that the player’s representatives are actively exploring a possible move. Bailey expressed that the Frenchman’s camp offers the player to other Premier League sides.
“As it stands I am told that a move to Europe is the most likely option – but his people are touching base with clubs in England,” Bailey said. “Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham have all been spoken to in the past few months. Chelsea want to recoup as much of their plus £50m outlay, but that looks difficult at this juncture.”

“Also because Nkunku wants to playon a regular basis and at Chelsea this is not happening apart from in the Conference League, but it’s about Premier League football, it’s about thereally crucial games that Nkunku wants to play
