A shocking information has just been revealed by the British media when Christopher Nkunku will only receive a salary of 25% compared to those received at Chelsea, once breaking up with this team.
In the context that Chelsea is still determined to recruit Xavi Simons in the last days of the summer transfer period 2025, striker Christopher Nkunku may create a shock by returning to the old team RB Leipzig.

Christopher Nkunku will have to receive a very low salary if he left Chelsea. |
However, the French striker will have to accept significant salaries. Because of the biggest obstacle, Nkunku has not been able to leave Chelsea at a huge salary that this player is being received, when the figure has reached 20 million euros per year, twice as high as what he has received in Leipzig.
With the limit of the internal salary fund of only 5 million euros, Leipzig will only agree to carry out the deal if the French striker accepts a reduction of up to 75% of the salary. Earlier, according to information from Bild, Leipzig's Board of Directors asked Sports Manager Marcel Schafer to cut the overall salary fund 20%.
Nkunku used to move very close to moving to Bayern Munich, but the deal was at risk of breaking down after Chelsea refused to lend the striker. Instead, the defending champion FIFA Club World Cup values Nkunku, who still contracts until 2029 at 50 million euros.
According to Bild, RB Leipzig is seriously considering the ability to re -recruit old star Christopher Nkunku. The 27 -year -old striker left Leipzig to join Chelsea in 2023 for a fee of 60 million euros. Although the initial rumors seem unlikely, the negotiations are now becoming more and more serious.
A potential transfer of Nkunku to RB Leipzig can play a key role in the negotiation between Leipzig and Chelsea in the case of Xavi Simons. The Dutch star has long reached an individual agreement with the London team and is pressuring to leave.
However, Chelsea need to liquidate some players like Nkunku before making an official offer. Because, the Bundesliga team still maintains a set of 70 million euros for Simons.
