A surprise return? RB Leipzig has intensified talks with Chelsea to repatriate Christopher Nkunku . The French striker, open to a return to the Bundesliga, is pushing for a permanent transfer rather than a loan, according to The Athletic . Leipzig and Chelsea had already exchanged informally about Xavi Simons, and Nkunku's case is now at the heart of the negotiations. Bayern Munich has also positioned itself, but the player's and Chelsea's desire to conclude a sale complicates the possibilities.
At this stage, no deal is imminent. Chelsea, who value Nkunku at €50 million (down from £65 million last January), know their player wants to leave London after a frustrating season, marked by only nine Premier League starts despite playing 43 games. Under contract until 2029, the French international is attracting interest from several clubs in Germany, England, and Italy, and could become one of the big players in the summer transfer window.
