Bayern Munich learn asking price for summer target Christopher Nkunku | OneFootball

Bayern Munich are among the clubs keen on signing Chelsea’s out-of-favour forward Christopher Nkunku.

Thomas Muller’s exit and Jamal Musiala’s long-term injury have impacted Bayern’s attacking options.

They have set their sights on Nkunku, who they tried to sign in the winter transfer window earlier this year.

The Frenchman has made himself available after enduring a difficult spell at Chelsea since his transfer from RB Leipzig in a deal worth €60 million.

After being plagued by injuries in his debut campaign, Nkunku struggled to nail down a starting role last term.

He started in only nine out of 27 Premier League games, but played a key role in the Europa Conference League title victory, bagging five goals and three assists.

Chelsea are open to selling the former Paris Saint-Germain star, who is not in manager Enzo Maresca’s plans.

Nkunku is likely to be pushed further down the pecking order with the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

According to L’Equipe, the Blues are demanding at least €35 million for Nkunku, whose departure would trim their bloated squad.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also monitoring Nkunku’s situation but haven’t initiated any concrete talks.

Bayern are willing to provide an escape route for Nkunku, who wants to reignite his career in a bid to secure a place in France’s squad at next year’s World Cup.

The Bavarians have been prioritising a new winger in this window, but their search has been futile.

After missing out on Nico Williams, the Bundesliga champions are planning to splash the cash on Luis Diaz, but Liverpool have rebuffed their proposals.
