  • Nkunku, 27, has scored just three Premier League goals this season after a £52m move from RB Leipzig in 2023.
  • Injuries, including knee surgery and a hamstring issue, have limited his impact at Chelsea, leading the club to consider selling him.
  • Newcastle United and Bayern Munich are also interested in the French forward, with Bayern offering the prospect of a return to Germany.
  • Liverpool's pursuit aligns with manager Arne Slot's squad rebuild following their Premier League title win, as uncertainty surrounds their attacking options.
