Christopher Nkunku has caught the attention of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain amid speculation that his Chelsea stint, following a £52 million move in 2023, might not last. However, these two clubs aren’t the only ones monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany recently reported that Nkunku has no plans to leave Chelsea during the winter transfer window. That said, if his playing time doesn’t improve by the summer, he might explore other opportunities.

In November, GOAL revealed that Nkunku has been encouraged to consider a move to Manchester United. Despite frustrations over limited minutes, The Athletic notes that Nkunku isn’t actively pushing for a transfer at this stage.

Is a move to Saudi Arabia in the cards?

Fichajes reports that several Saudi Pro League sides have offered Chelsea €60 million to sign Nkunku.

TBR Football reported last month that PSG are still interested in bringing Nkunku back to the Parc des Princes. While the French forward has realized he’s not Enzo Maresca’s first choice at Chelsea, he hasn’t given up on his Blues career and continues to fight for a place in the team.

PSG are monitoring the situation, and intermediaries have suggested to Chelsea that a player swap involving Nkunku could be possible. Randal Kolo Muani, not in Luis Enrique’s plans, has been mentioned as a feasible option.
