Chelsea have reportedly placed a £65 million asking price on Christopher Nkunku as Bayern Munich express interest in signing the French forward during the January transfer window.
Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in a £52 million deal in 2023, has struggled for game time this season, starting just three Premier League matches. While the 25-year-old is eager for more minutes, manager Enzo Maresca has emphasised the need to maintain balance in his squad, despite the abundance of attacking options.
According to reports from The Telegraph and RMC Sport, Bayern Munich have begun negotiations for Nkunku, who is open to the move.
Chelsea, however, are holding firm on their valuation, demanding at least £65 million to part with the forward.
Should Nkunku leave Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are expected to target a versatile attacker capable of playing on the left flank and through the middle to fill the void.
The January transfer window could see significant developments as Chelsea navigate their squad dynamics and Nkunku considers a potential return to Germany.
