Bayern Munich, Juventus Present Major Threat to Liverpool, PSG for Chelsea Outcast | OneFootball

Liverpool and PSG have shown interest in Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, who has struggled to find his place at Stamford Bridge. PSG looked into bringing him back as early as January, while Liverpool are now considering a move for the French forward in the summer. However, both clubs will face competition for his signature.

PSG ultimately decided against making a formal offer, but Liverpool are keeping a close eye on the situation as Nkunku’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain.

Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million, but injuries and tough competition for spots have limited his chances to become a regular starter. His long-term future with the Blues is still unclear.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reported that PSG explored a possible deal but stepped back. Bayern Munich also passed on a January move, although Sport Bild’s Christian Falk suggested they might come back with renewed interest later this year.

According to Fichajes, Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on him after his strong performances in Germany and look to be among the front-runners to offer him another chance. Juventus are also showing interest, recognizing the Frenchman’s skill and versatility.

Foot Mercato reported Thursday that Nkunku is on Liverpool’s radar, with initial talks already underway. The Premier League side are looking to strengthen their attack and are prioritizing versatile players—something that works in Nkunku’s favor.

Newcastle United are also keeping a close eye on the situation, especially with expected changes to their forward line this summer. Several other clubs are monitoring Nkunku as well, but a key factor for the Chelsea forward is playing in the Champions League—something Bayern Munich can offer. The German club are still considering a move for the former RB Leipzig standout.

Nkunku was already a hot topic during the winter window and looks set to be one again. With Bayern potentially losing Leroy Sané, there could be significant movement in the weeks ahead.
