The Athletic reports that Bayern Munich has renewed its interest in Nkunku. The German champions are keen on the Chelsea outcast after missing out on several targets this summer — like Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams — they’re eager to try again.
Nkunku enjoyed great success in Germany with RB Leipzig, which makes him an appealing option. However, Chelsea is expected to push for a permanent transfer for the 27-year-old.
The Mirror recently reported that Manchester United have been quoted £35 million to sign Christopher Nkunku this summer. Nkunku is on United’s shortlist of striker targets, with Chelsea prepared to take a significant loss after paying £52 million for him just two years ago.
Meanwhile, TEAMtalk previously noted that Chelsea were open to selling Nkunku but had initially set the asking price at £59 million—a figure Juventus considered too high. The Italian side is hoping to negotiate a lower fee if talks advance.
The report also states that Bayern Munich and Newcastle United have shown interest in the 27-year-old ahead of the transfer window.
