£70m Chelsea ace that Man United want agreeable to Bayern switch | OneFootball

Chelsea are set to be the big movers and shakers in the transfer window again, and Christopher Nkunku is agreeable to a move to Bayern Munich if the Bundesliga giants can agree to pay the £70m asking price.

The Daily Mail note that Man United have already made what they call a shock loan enquiry, though the lack of goals from their own front men would surely mean that a move for Nkunku makes sense.

With just three games under his belt this season according to the Daily Mail, it’s little wonder that the former RB Leipzig man wants to move on from the Stamford Bridge outfit.

He’s unlikely to be the only departure this month either, as Deivid Washington is set to join Santos, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall wants to leave Chelsea too.

Ben Chilwell is another out of favour ace who would appear to want to move on from the club, giving Maresca some head room in terms of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

At present, however, only Washington’s loan to the Brazilian outfit seems close to completion.

Could Christopher Nkunku move to Bayern start chain reaction?

With only a few days left until the end of the transfer window, there isn’t much time to close any or all of those deals, for Chelsea to then be able to enter the market for incoming transfers.

Could it be that the Blues, despite all of their best efforts, end up worse off at the end of January than at the start of the month?

As their European aspirations start to fade, the pressure will continue to mount on Enzo Maresca.

The Italian had brought some semblance of balance to the first-team squad, but it could all unravel by the end of January.
