Christopher Nkunku has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are keen on signing the French international in the summer transfer window.
However, Die Roten will have to pay £50 million to get the deal done. The 27-year-old versatile attacker has not been able to live up to the expectations at Chelsea, and the Blues are likely to sell him as well.
The Frenchman is reportedly frustrated at the London club, and he wants a fresh start. Returning to Germany could be ideal for him. Nkunku played his best football in Germany with RB Leipzig. Returning to his comfort zone could bring out the best thing him once again.
The 27-year-old is very much at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running at Bayern Munich if he joins the club. Die Roten have recently lost Leroy Sane, and they need more cutting edge in the final third. The French international could be the ideal acquisition. He is capable of operating centrally as well as on the flanks. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
However, the £50 million asking price is quite steep, and the Bundesliga champions will hope to sign him for a more reasonable amount of money. It is out in the open that Nkunku is frustrated at Chelsea, and the Blues do not rate him highly either. Any club hoping to sign the player will want to sign him for a knock-down price. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Bayern Munich are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for the Frenchman attacker. He will look to get his career back on track with regular football with them. The Bavarian giants could provide you with the platform to fight for league titles and the UEFA Champions League next season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have secured a return to the UEFA Champions League, and they will look to build a formidable squad for the next season. Selling some of their deadwood would allow them to bring in quality signings. It remains to be seen whether they can recoup £50 million for the French international and invest it in a player who can help them improve.
