Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is expected to leave the club this summer, bringing an end to a tough spell at Stamford Bridge following his £52 million move from RB Leipzig in 2023.
Despite scoring 14 goals in all competitions this season, Nkunku has struggled to cement a regular spot in the starting lineup under both Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Maresca, often falling behind other forwards in the pecking order.
According to reports, Nkunku has made up his mind about moving on, with Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg confirming that his departure is now inevitable. Chelsea are open to letting him go and are willing to accept offers in the region of £35 million, which would mean taking a financial hit on their original investment.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing the French international. Nkunku is believed to favor a move to a team competing in the Champions League, aiming to reignite his career on the European stage.
His departure is likely to be part of a broader squad shake-up at Chelsea as they prepare for major changes in the summer transfer
window.
