Chelsea is looking for a permanent outcome and previously estimated Nkunku with around 60 million GBP.

Bavaria are looking for attack reinforcements that both Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams missed.

Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford were also discussed as options.

As with Rashford, the appeal in Nkunku is its ability to play central or far.

The 27-year-old fought for Constance and minutes in Chelsea since he came to Leipzig.

Nkunku has introduced 60 times for the outfit in West London since a move of Leipzig in June 2023 and achieved 18 times.

Chelsea’s last conversation with Bayern surrounded the potential of Nkunku to move to Germany and Mathys Tel in order to go in the other direction.

Since then, Tel has come to Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2024/25 season in the second half of the 2024/25 season, and since then another Bayern player who drove to Stamford Bridge has not been discussed.

Chelsea is currently waiting for Bavaria to initiate formal contact via Nkunku.

The French international is also interested in Saudi Arabia, with Al Qadsiah recently carried out a and formative examination on the player side to understand whether he would be open to the Saudi Pro league.

Chelsea also works on several other editions.

Arsenal will decide in the coming days whether they should offer Noni Madueke, who has already agreed personal conditions.

The French defender Axel Disasi will probably leave, with Villarreal making a first approach for the player, while Newcastle is interested.

Dortmund talks to Carney Chukwuemeka in conversations about a new loan of seasons, although Chelsea ideally preferred a permanent exit.

Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, Djordje Petrovic, Lesley Ugochukwu and Alfie Gilchrist are other players who are supposed to leave this summer.
