Bayern Munich reignite their interest in Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku | OneFootball

As reported by The Athletic, Bayern Munich have reignited their interest in Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku.

During the January transfer window, Bayern made a surprise approach to Chelsea, as the record champions looked to acquire the services of Nkunku.

Including Mathys Tel in the deal, Bayern looked to lower the Premier League outfit’s valuation of the 27-year-old, but ultimately, a deal never came to fruition.

Now, Tel is plying his trade at one of Chelsea’s fiercest rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, having recently completed a permanent move to North London.

Therefore, as Bayern continue their search for attacking reinforcement, it is unlikely they will be able to offer Chelsea a player should they look to strike a deal with Enzo Maresca’s side.

Is Christopher Nkunku a Jamal Musiala replacement?

Der Rekordmeister are still hoping to lure Luis Díaz away from Liverpool, having recently been given the green light from the Colombian’s side.

However, Bayern may consider signing both, with Nkunku instead being considered as a temporary replacement for the injured Jamal Musiala.

The Frenchman has featured on the left wing across his career, but he has never flourished in the same way as when he is deployed in a more central area.

With Musiala sidelined for at least four months, Nkunku would offer the record champions immediate quality while also increasing squad depth once the 22-year-old returns.

Chelsea would only consider a permanent transfer for Nkunku, but perhaps this is a deal that could suit all parties.
