Overview

• Bayern Munich have initiated direct negotiations with Chelsea and contacted Nkunku’s agent Pini Zahavi to explore a summer move.
• Chelsea have cut Nkunku’s valuation to around £35 million, down from the £52 million paid in 2023, reflecting his reduced role under Enzo Maresca.
• Inter Milan have expressed concrete interest but are prioritizing Ademola Lookman, while RB Leipzig are monitoring the forward for a potential return.
• Discussions include permanent transfers and loan agreements with purchase options as clubs and Chelsea seek to conclude a deal by the August 31 deadline.
• Nkunku, eager for regular playing time after an injury-hit spell at Stamford Bridge, is open to a return to the Bundesliga or a move to another Champions League side.
