Beijing time on February 25, Spanish media reported that Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid all need to pay a price of 63 million pounds to have a chance to compete for Christopher Nkunku from The Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.
Christopher Nkunku, 24, has moved to RB Leipzig since July 2019 and the French attacker has improved by leaps and bounds on the pitch. Christopher Nkunku, once a brilliant midfielder, has transformed into a prolific attacker after two and a half years, and christopher Nkunku's 2021/22 season is now a sign of explosive play.
Christopher Nkunku has played in all competitions for RB Leipzig this season, with only two games playing as a substitute and the rest as a starter, and so far this season Nkunku has played 33 games for RB Leipzig, contributing 22 goals and 13 assists, including 7 goals and 1 assist in 6 Games in the Champions League. However, this excellent performance has left a deep impression on people, and at the same time, it has been set on him by the big Clubs in Europe, real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United are all potential contenders for Nkunku.
Real Madrid's interest in Nkunku comes from Gareth Bale and the billion-dollar tragedy Eden Hazad, the former already has the idea of retiring, and the latter has failed to take on the future of the Real Madrid team, and both of Real Madrid's attacking players may leave the team in the summer, so the Bernabeu is very much in need of an offensive all-rounder like Nkunku.
Chelsea's pursuit of Nkunku is due to the instability of the likes of Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner and Lukaku, and whether these three strikers are closely linked to the possibility of leaving Stamford Bridge this summer, but Nkunku can just join the squad as a replacement for these three.
As for Manchester United, the manager Ralph Lonnick is keen to bring Nkunku from RB Leipzig to Manchester United, bearing in mind that Manchester United's interim manager once led the Leipzig team, so he is very knowledgeable about the ability of the 24-year-old Nkunku. At the same time, players like Martial, Greenwood and Eddingson Edinson Kawani face an uncertain future in the team, but Nkunku is a viable target.
But the former Paris midfielder certainly won't be cheap, with Leipzig asking for a transfer fee of around £63m. In addition to real madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United interested in Christopher Nkunku, the old host Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League leaders Manchester City also have a strong interest in Nkunku.
At present, Real Madrid is negotiating with Chelsea on loan for Eden Hazard, if the deal is reached, it will be very likely to have a win-win situation, Hazard will be able to find his form at Stamford Bridge and increase his value, then Real Madrid can use the funds from the sale of Hazard to buy Nkunku.
