Transfer Talk: Nkunku could depart Chelsea next summer
Posted Friday, October 18, 2024 by ESPN
Christopher Nkunku could push for a Chelsea exit next summer if he can't break into head coach Enzo Maresca's starting lineup, Football Insider reports.
The forward has been linked with a move back to his native France, with Paris Saint-Germain said to be interested in signing him. Nkunku has played second fiddle so far this season to Nicolas Jackson, who has been the first-choice striker under Maresca in the Premier League.
It is reported that Chelsea aren't open to a sale, having signed the 26-year-old last year. Football Insider sources report that Nkunku could take matters into his own hands next year as he is "unhappy" to play a backup role to the club's other forwards.
He has recently returned from international duty with France, where he scored his first goal for Les Bleus.
Is Christopher Nkunku likely to leave Chelsea after this season?
