Bayern not giving up: Nkunku talks continue | OneFootball

Bayern are still searching for reinforcements in attack. Apparently, Christopher Nkunku remains a topic of interest at Säbener Straße.

According to those responsible, including Uli Hoeneß and Herbert Hainer, only loan deals are to be completed by Bayern before the transfer window closes this summer. As a result, it was expected that Christopher Nkunku would no longer be an option for Bayern, since consistent media reports suggest that Chelsea are pushing for a permanent sale of the Frenchman.

However, as RMC Sport now reports, Bayern are still in negotiations with Chelsea regarding the signing of Nkunku. The record champions are said to be interested in negotiating a loan deal.

Nkunku blocks Xavi transfer to Chelsea

According to the report, time is running out for the clubs, and as long as Nkunku has not moved, the transfer of Xavi Simons to Chelsea will be blocked. The Dutch international has reportedly been pushing for a move to the Blues for weeks.

However, the Londoners can only complete the deal once Nkunku leaves the club. For now, Xavi will remain at RB Leipzig. A departure was considered a mere formality—especially due to the lack of international football in Leipzig.

Nkunku, meanwhile, is said to be open to a move to Bayern. The attacking all-rounder was already linked with the Munich club last winter. At that time, however, the deal fell through due to Chelsea’s high transfer demands.

One thing is clear: Bayern still want to strengthen their attack, but are dependent on clubs willing to agree to a loan deal. In addition to Nkunku, Jadon Sancho is also considered a possible candidate for the German champions.
