Christopher Nkunku’s departure from Chelsea seems imminent, with the club expected to part ways with the 27-year-old forward in the summer transfer window.
This development comes after Nkunku’s struggles with injuries and inconsistent form since joining Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £58 million. Despite his talent, he has managed only 14 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions.
Nkunku’s potential exit is likely due to his falling behind emerging talents in Chelsea’s pecking order. Several clubs have reportedly shown interest in signing him, including Bayern Munich, who had previously explored his signing in January. Arsenal and Manchester United also had Nkunku on their radar earlier this year and may revive their interest this summer.
Additionally, Tottenham has been mentioned as a potential suitor for the French forward.Nkunku’s contract runs until 2029, and Chelsea is expected to negotiate his departure soon.
The club’s manager, Enzo Maresca, seems to favor other options in attack, making Nkunku’s exit more likely. Nkunku won’t be available for 10-15 days due to a new injury, which might impact the discussions surrounding his transfer. The outcome of these negotiations will determine Nkunku’s future and potential destination.
