Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has been speaking on the Christopher Nkunku to Bayern Munich deal that is still on.
There is plenty still going on in the transfer market this week as we head towards the end of the window, and there was even reports of Chelsea rejecting an offer from West Ham for Andrey Santos over the weekend.
And late last week we started hearing about Bayern Munich going strong to sign Nkunku from Chelsea in the latter end of this window, something that at that point looked quite likely.
But since then it looks like this one has not been quite as dead cert to happen and Chelsea and Bayern have so far been unable to agree a deal.

On Nkunku to Bayern, Romano said on his latest YouTube video last night:
“Bayern and Chelsea keep talking over Nkunku, even today. Chelsea want permanent deal; Bayern response was let’s try and be creative, maybe a loan with option that could turn into obligation, something like this. Let’s see next week.”
I can see them just agreeing on some sort of obligation deal here. Maybe a deal that will see Bayern having to sign Nkunku us he’s made a number of realistic appearances for them across the whole season. So a loan with an obligation if certain conditions are met.
It seems Bayern are not keen to commit to a permanent deal here, which is a bit strange. You either want to the player or you don’t? Loan deals are no good for Chelsea right now.
