Next up Nkunku - Bayern Munich in talk with Chelsea over unwanted star

The French international boasts significant Bundesliga experience, having spent four years at RB Leipzig, where his impressive performances earned him a move to Stamford Bridge in 2023.

However, he struggled to establish himself at Chelsea, largely remaining a bench player under Enzo Maresca and has been linked with a move this summer.

Bayern's management believes that a change of scenery could be the key to unlocking Nkunku's potential, and the Allianz Arena could provide the ideal environment.

The German champions have already seen the departure of club legend Thomas Müller this summer, while Leroy Sané joined Galatasaray on a free transfer.

Kingsley Coman is also expected to complete a move to Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr in the coming days.

Bayern has already acquired Luis Diaz from Liverpool but is seeking further reinforcements up front. Their initial target was Stuttgart's Niclas Füllkrug, but the Swabians are reluctant to sell.

This resistance has led Bayern to pursue Nkunku, believing he could be acquired for a considerably lower fee, as reported by Sportal.

The French forward is currently valued at around €35 million. His versatility and ability to play effectively in multiple positions are also highly valued.
