Bayern want Chelsea ace Nkunku to replace Coman | OneFootball

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has been lined up as a replacement for Kingsley Coman, who is set to join Al-Nassr from Bayern Munich, according to L’Equipe.

The Blues have been looking for takers in their desperate attempt to offload the France international, and Bayern could finally take him off their hands.

The Bundesliga champions are set to sell Coman to Al-Nassr. They’re poised to recoup a €30 million fee for the Frenchman who has agreed a three-year deal with the Saudi Pro League giants.

Bayern are poised to plough those funds into bringing Nkunku back to Germany after a frustrating spell in London.

The Bavarians have already raided Liverpool for an attacking player after snapping up Luis Diaz in a €75m deal.

Bayern director of football Max Eberl is reportedly a huge fan of Nkunku, who is open to the idea of returning to Germany.

The German giants have pursued Nkunku before. Personal terms were agreed during the January transfer window, but the move stalled when Chelsea refused to drop their €70 million asking price.

After failing to drum up interest from other clubs, Chelsea have been forced to drop their demands to around €50m.

Nkunku isn’t the only Chelsea star on Bayern’s radar. Out-of-favour striker Nicolas Jackson has also been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena.

The Senegal striker has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge after falling down the pecking order following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
