Bayern Munich are not expected to meet Chelsea’s asking price for attacking target Christopher Nkunku, with the Frenchman likely to stay until the summer.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea could face a problem in their efforts to offload Christopher Nkunku, as Bayern Munich are uninterested in paying their asking price. The Frenchman has been angling for an exit this month following an unhappy spell this season, although the chances of him staying until the summer are high.
Christopher Nkunku was a sensational player at RB Leipzig, which prompted Chelsea to pay a premium to sign him. The Blues have not seen the best of the Frenchman following an injury-riddled first season, and in his second one, the player has been used mainly in a secondary role.
The 27-year-old is the club’s second-highest scorer this season across all competitions behind Cole Palmer. However, most of his goals have come in the Conference League, and he has only stuck twice in the Premier League this term, as Enzo Maresca prefers Nicolas Jackson to lead the line.
Nkunku has made his position clear and wants an exit this month, with many clubs interested in signing him. Bayern Munich have made their admiration known to the player and Chelsea, who are also interested in Mathys Tel, which briefly opened the possibility of an exchange deal.
Mathys Tel is seemingly uninterested in switching to Chelsea, which could potentially scupper any plans for brokering an exchange between the two clubs. As things stand, the Blues want £65 million for the French forward, something Bayern Munich are not interested in paying right now.
Bayern Munich could end Nkunku interest
Chelsea seems adamant about their asking price for Nkunku, meaning the £65 million-rated star could find it challenging to move out this month. Bayern Munich, for all their admiration, are not expected to overpay for the attacker and could end their interest, at least for this month.
Maresca will see the value in keeping hold of the player as a backup attacking option, as Chelsea will only sell him for their £65 million-rated asking price. For now, Nkunku is widely expected to stay at Stamford Bridge until the end of the current season and then figure out an exit strategy next summer.
