Could Bayern Munich Land Christopher Nkunku at a Bargain This Summer?
Bayern Munich may be making significant progress in their pursuit of Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, with new reports suggesting that the Bundesliga giants could be getting a serious discount on the Frenchman’s transfer fee.
Nkunku, who is represented by prominent agent Pini Zahavi—the same agent who works with Bayern winger Leroy Sané—has seen his name resurface in Bayern’s summer transfer plans. Talks between Zahavi and Bayern’s front office have reportedly picked up momentum in recent weeks, according to German outlet *Sport Bild* via journalist Tobi Altschäffl and reported by @iMiaSanMia.
The key development? The price.
Nkunku, 27, was previously valued at around €60 million, a figure that appeared to stall negotiations back in January when Bayern’s new sporting director Max Eberl met with the player. Now, with Chelsea reportedly open to offloading several assets this summer, Nkunku’s asking price is said to have dropped significantly—falling to just under €35 million.
The discount came after an injury ridden season for Nkunku, whose performances have not lived up to expectations at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea. For Bayern, this lowered fee could turn a high-risk gamble into a calculated investment.
With Florian Wirtz no longer seen as a viable target for the Bavarian side, Nkunku may now be one of the more realistic and attainable reinforcements on the market. His Bundesliga experience with RB Leipzig, with a combination of his ability to play both as a second striker and an as a attacking midfielder, couldl make him an option.
Bayern’s interest in enforcing their forward line has been no secret, and as they prepare for a summer rebuild, Nkunku may find himself in the right place at the right time for a fresh start—and for Bayern, a chance to secure elite talent without breaking the bank.
Would Nkunku’s arrival be the right move for Bayern given the circumstances? Bal Leagues will be watching closely as this transfer window unfolds.
