According to The Athletic, Chelsea has reduced the selling price for partners to sign contracts with Christopher Nkunku this summer.
Christopher Nkunku has not had a regular kicking position at Chelsea since moving from RB Leipzig for £ 52 million in 2023. The 27 -year -old player only played 9 matches in the Premier League last season, he sat on the reserve in Chelsea against Real Betis in the Conference League final in May.
With not playing an important role in Chelsea, the French player wants to leave in the summer this year, thereby playing more often. MU is looking for a new striker to enhance the attack power for Ruben Amorim's squad after signing a contract with Maheus Cuha and Bryan Mbeumo.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea initially valued Nkunku at £ 65 million when the transfer started, but the FIFA Club World Cup champion is now ready to accept the offer worth £ 43 million for his star.
MU considers signing a contract with Nkunku in the January transfer window, but the French striker rejected the offer on the form of loan. Arsenal and Bayern Munich also offered to have Nkunku in January but in the end did not have what he needed.
Speaking at the FIFA Club World Cup last month, coach Enzo Maresca of Chelsea confirmed that Nkunku's possibility of staying in the Blues is entirely possible. Chelsea's squad is currently on the holiday after attending the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in the US.
