Christopher Nkunku’s future at Chelsea appears uncertain, with several top European clubs reportedly showing interest in the forward. According to Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, the 27-year-old could leave as early as January, with his representatives exploring new opportunities.
Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million but has struggled to secure a consistent spot in the starting lineup, sparking speculation about a potential departure.
Journalist Ben Jacobs recently revealed that PSG are genuinely interested in bringing Nkunku back to Paris, though they have yet to approach Chelsea.
Chelsea are reportedly keen to retain the player, so any move would likely hinge on Nkunku’s own decision. At the same time, the Blues are not expected to pursue Kolo Muani.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea are expected to demand £65 million for Nkunku, as Bayern Munich shows interest in the forward. Nkunku is reportedly unhappy with his playing time at Stamford Bridge.

Recently, Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported on Monday that Bayern Munich are eager to secure Nkunku right away.
The club has already reached a full verbal agreement with the player on a long-term deal, finalizing all the terms. Nkunku is equally eager to make the move to Bayern as soon as possible.
