Overview

• Chelsea has reduced Nkunku’s fee to about €25 million from an earlier asking price near €40 million in a bid to offload surplus players.
• The price cut reflects the club’s need to clear spots for Champions League squad registration after recent summer signings.
• Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United are leading Premier League contenders for the 27-year-old forward.
• Juventus and Inter Milan have entered the race in Serie A alongside FC Bayern Munich, which sees Nkunku as a fallback attacking option.
• Nkunku remains under contract with Chelsea until 2029 but has struggled for regular playing time since joining in 2023.
