Overview

  • Nkunku has reportedly agreed to a mutual summer departure from Chelsea after being used sparingly by coach Enzo Maresca.
  • The forward, who scored 14 goals across all competitions, has struggled for consistent starts, with only 11 Premier League games in the starting lineup this season.
  • Chelsea has set a €70 million price tag on Nkunku, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich expressing interest in a potential transfer.
  • Maresca has prioritized younger players like academy product Tyrique George, who recently rewarded the coach's trust with a goal.
  • Nkunku's two-year stint at Chelsea, following a high-profile move from RB Leipzig, has been marked by injuries, limited opportunities, and tactical adjustments.
