Arsenal, PSG £52M-Rated-Linked Attacker Makes Major Chelsea Transfer Decision, Report Says | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain considered signing Christopher Nkunku during the winter transfer window but ultimately decided not to make a move. While Nkunku remained at Chelsea, rumors continue to swirl about a potential summer exit.

Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million, has battled injuries and struggled to secure consistent playing time amid stiff competition, raising doubts about his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Journalist Ben Jacobs noted that PSG considered bringing Nkunku back but stopped short of making a formal offer. Bayern Munich also passed on a move in January, though Sport Bild’s Christian Falk reports the club could renew its interest later this year.

Falk reports that Nkunku has asked to leave Chelsea and is hoping to secure a move before the Club World Cup begins. This comes amid ongoing links to Bayern Munich, who are still in the market for a backup to Harry Kane and reportedly still have Nkunku on their radar.

Meanwhile, TEAMtalk recently noted that Arsenal are also showing interest in Nkunku, with Mikel Arteta looking to bolster his attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window.
