Christopher Nkunku’s future at Chelsea is increasingly under the spotlight, with several top European clubs reportedly interested in securing his services.
According to Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, the 27-year-old forward could leave Stamford Bridge as early as January, with his representatives exploring potential options.
Having joined Chelsea in 2023 for £52 million, Nkunku has struggled to secure a regular starting spot, fueling speculation about his future.
Reports indicate that Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs monitoring his situation, raising further questions about his long-term prospects at Chelsea.
Christopher Nkunku is Plan B for Barcelona
TEAMtalk reported on Wednesday, citing sources, that Barcelona are eyeing a potential January loan move for Nkunku should they fail to register Dani Olmo.
Barcelona aims to create room for Olmo, but if the process of offloading players to accommodate him takes too long, the club could explore a loan move for Christopher Nkunku in the latter stages of the winter transfer window.
The Catalan side are looking to negotiate a loan deal for Nkunku, with part of his salary covered by Chelsea. This would allow the club to fit him into their wage structure, though they will also need to offload some players to free up additional funds. The length of the loan would be a key factor in any potential agreement.
