72 m. ago RB Leipzig step up Nkunku interest to provide Chelsea boost for potential signings

Nkunku’s former club are looking into permanent dealLondon club unwilling to pay £50m for GarnachoRB Leipzig have stepped up attempts to sign Christopher Nkunku on a permanent deal, potentially paving the way for Chelsea to accelerate their search for attacking reinforcements.Chelsea need sales before pressing ahead with moves for Leipzig’s Xavi Simons and Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho but their hopes of shifting Nkunku appeared to have hit a dead end when Bayern Munich’s move for the forward stalled. Bayern had an offer of a loan with an option to buy for the Frenchman rejected over the weekend and have so far shown little inclination of wanting to pay enough to buy him.
