Bayern Munich are reportedly hoping to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea, but the move will be complicated this summer.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku is valued at €40 million, and it will be interesting to see if Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich can get the deal done.
The report claims that there is still a big distance between the two clubs. Bayern Munich have been hoping to sign the Frenchman on loan, but Chelsea are only seeking a permanent transfer. They are aiming to recoup around €40 million for the player. It will be interesting to see if the Bavarian outfit are willing to pay up.
Meanwhile, Marc Mechenoua has revealed that Newcastle United have re-entered the chase as well. The Magpies could use more quality and depth in their attacking unit, and the French international would be a quality acquisition.
The 27‑year‑old has not been able to showcase his true qualities at Chelsea, but there is no doubt that he is a quality player. If he manages to regain his form and confidence, Nkunku could be an important player for Newcastle.
Nkunku is capable of operating in multiple attacking roles, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Nkunku will look to sort out his long‑term future so that he can focus on his football once again. Leaving Chelsea will be a priority for him this summer.
Nkunku would be a quality addition
Bayern Munich are looking to add more depth to their attacking unit as well. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to come forward with a permanent offer to get the deal done. As far as Newcastle United are concerned, they need more depth in the attacking unit.
Alexander Isak has been linked with a move away from the club, and it will be interesting to see if they can replace him properly by bringing in quality additions. Nkunku is very much at the peak of his career, and he will not want to sit on the bench at Chelsea. Newcastle United or Bayern Munich will be able to provide him with regular opportunities. It will be interesting to see if he can secure a summer move before the window closes.
