Chelsea set €70m price tag on Bayern Munich target Christopher Nkunku | OneFootball

Chelsea have set a €70m price tag on striker Christopher Nkunku (26) amid interest from Bayer Munich, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 26-year-old France international is reportedly open to a return to the Bundesliga after his breakout seasons with RB Leipzig. Nkunku’s with the Blues has been rumored to be coming to an abrupt end after only 18 months in West London. Nkunku’s first season was marred with injuries. Since the start of the current campaign, the former PSG Academy graduate finds game time limited under the tutelage of Enzo Maresca.

Nkunku signed for Chelsea on a six-year deal over a reported fee of €62m. Logically, the Premier League club intends to make a profit on his sale. So far this season, Nkunku only played 195 minutes of Premier League football with most of his playing time allocated to the domestic cups and the Conference League. The France international has logged 13 goals and four assists in 28 games played in all competitions for Maresca’s Blues. Romano adds that it’s now up to Chelsea and Bayern to clarify Mathys Tel’s (19) situation as the Frenchman could go the other way as part of a swap deal.
