🔄 Nkunku Emerges as Barcelona’s Plan B If Rashford Deal Collapses
With growing uncertainty surrounding a potential move for Marcus Rashford, Barcelona have quietly placed Christopher Nkunku on their shortlist of left-wing reinforcements, according to internal club sources.
The Chelsea forward, known for his versatility, explosive pace, and clinical finishing, is being viewed as a more financially viable and tactically flexible option should Rashford remain out of reach due to salary or club resistance.
Nkunku’s ability to play across the front line—on the left, as a false nine, or even behind the striker—makes him a strong fit for Hansi Flick’s fluid attacking system. His Bundesliga pedigree and experience at Chelsea, though marred by injuries, show his capability at the highest level.
Barcelona are monitoring his situation closely, particularly if Chelsea show openness to a sale or loan, as part of their squad trimming efforts under new management.
For now, Nkunku remains a backup plan—but in the fast-moving world of summer transfers, that status could change quickly.
