According to Marc Mechenoua, Chelsea rejected the offer to lend Christopher Nkunku from Bayern Munich, they just wanted to sell this striker.
Chelsea wanted to sell French players before the summer transfer ended on September 1. The Blues need to sell players before they could sign a new contract, they wanted to complete the agreements with Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho.
The German champion, Bayern, negotiated with Chelsea about the transfer of Nkunku last weekend but their loan request was rejected. The Blues announced that they would only sell this 27 -year -old player instead of lending.

According to Marc Mechenoua, Bayern will return to the offer to buy when they try to win the race to win Nkunku. However, everything will not be easy when the French journalist asserts that Inter Milan and Newcastle are also interested in recruiting Nkunku.
Nkunku, played as striker or midfielder, was sold by Chelsea after The Blues signed a contract with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. The French player joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 for £ 52 million.
Nkunku has played 62 matches for Chelsea so far, scored 18 goals and 5 assists. Nkunku has the opportunity to return to the old Leipzig club this summer, as part of the agreement to recruit Simons from Chelsea, but the player does not want to continue to stick with the Bundesliga team.
Bayern is now considered the brightest candidate to get Nkunku, the team considers him an ideal replacement for Kingsley Coman after he moved to Al-Nassr.
