Man United are very busy in the summer transfer window. They are keen to add some top attackers to their squad. As of now, they have made contact with French star’s entourage who has flopped at Chelsea.
Man United are willing to carry out summer overhaul. They had a very tough season due to which Ruben Amorim is not impressed with the squad. He wants new additions especially in attacking unit. In contrast, many of the current players are set to leave the club.
Firstly, Amorim wants a new striker and is ready to part ways with both Hojlund and Zirkzee. Then, the Red Devils are also said to sell all Antony, Rashford and Sancho who were already away on loan. Lastly, they are also willing to sell Garnacho in order to raise funds.
United have already signed Matheus Cunha. Now, they are vey close to sign Bryan Mbeumo. Amorim also wants a new striker and the Red Devils are ready to spend big on prefect fit. Amidst this, they have opened up talks to sign Chelsea star who is highly versatile.
Man United in talks to sign versatile Chelsea star
The star in question here is Christopher Nkunku. He joined Chelsea in summer 2023 for £52 million but the deal has not worked out. The Frenchman finds himself behind many players in the pecking order. Hence, he is willing to move away in order to play regularly.
Man United were interested to sign Nkunku in January. But, they were unable to make any advances in the deal. Now, L’Equipe have reported that they have made contact with Nkunku’s entourage. Chelsea are also willing to sell the 27 year old and hence the deal can get completed.
Chelsea are demanding £35 million for Nkunku this summer. United can surely afford to sign him. The Frenchman can play as striker, attacking midfielder and even as winger. Hence, he can play a big role in Ruben Amorim’s system.
