Christopher Nkunku’s future at Chelsea is under scrutiny as interest from top European clubs intensifies.

Graeme Bailey of TBR Football reports that Nkunku could depart Stamford Bridge as early as January, with his representatives reportedly assessing potential moves.

The 27-year-old forward, who joined Chelsea in 2023 for £52 million, has struggled to establish himself in the starting lineup, fueling talks of an exit.

Interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly emerged, adding further uncertainty to Nkunku’s situation at Chelsea. The former RB Leipzig standout’s inability to secure a consistent role has left questions about his long-term prospects at the London club.

Chelsea could be preparing to trim their squad during the January transfer window, and one name generating buzz is Christopher Nkunku.

CaughtOffside reported on Tuesday, citing sources, Barcelona might explore a loan move for the French international if they cannot register Dani Olmo. Nkunku has struggled to find a place in Enzo Maresca’s plans this season, fueling speculation about his short-term future at Stamford Bridge.

A temporary switch could offer the 25-year-old a chance to rediscover his form and regular minutes elsewhere. The report also highlights interest from Arsenal and PSG, with both clubs reportedly monitoring Nkunku’s situation as the transfer window approaches.
