On Wednesday, TEAMtalk reported that Bayern Munich have renewed their strong interest in Christopher Nkunku, with the German club eager to strike a deal for the versatile attacker.
Chelsea are said to be asking for around £50 million, but Bayern reportedly believe they can bring that price down. Nkunku is also understood to be open to a fresh start, and with his successful history in the Bundesliga, Bayern are seen as a leading contender to land him.
TEAMtalk previously reported that Chelsea are open to selling Nkunku but have set a £59 million price tag. That figure is currently too steep for Juventus, who are hoping to negotiate a lower fee if discussions move forward.
Their pursuit could depend heavily on Champions League qualification, which would strengthen their financial position and make the move more attractive to Nkunku.
According to the same outlet, Juventus aren’t alone in showing interest. Bayern Munich and Newcastle United have also looked into a possible summer move for the 27-year-old.
