A few days ago, according to Spain's "Fichajes", Leipzig's attacking midfielder Christopher Nkunku has triggered a competition for European giants, but Leipzig has now poured cold water on the major giants, and they are not ready to sell the 65 million euro France international in the summer.
Nkunku's performance in European competitions this season has been extremely impressive, scoring 7 goals in 6 Appearances in the Champions League and 2 assists, and also has a 3-goal performance in 4 games in the Europa League, with a total of 10 European games and 12 goals. Even if he did not lead the team to the Champions League knockout stages, Nkunku's efficiency in the Champions League can still be proud, and he is still the midfielder who has produced the most goals in the Champions League, and many players in the front court do not have his dazzling data, which can be called the strongest forward in the Champions League this season.
Nkunku's performance in the Bundesliga is even more eye-catching, scoring 17 goals and assisting 15 times in 30 Bundesliga games, being one of only two players in Europe's five major leagues to have more than 15 goals and assists, and the other is Mbappe, who has 22 goals and 15 assists in 30 Ligue 1 games. Such data has naturally attracted the attention of many giants, among which Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and AC Milan have now contacted Nkunku, hoping to introduce Nkunku in the summer, and the media estimates that his transfer fee is likely to reach 65 million euros - which is also the valuation of his value on the German "Transfer Market" website.
Nkunku's contract expires in 2024, according to this contract, next summer the new France international will enter the contract year, when the transfer fee will inevitably be discounted, so this summer is the best time for him to sell high prices, but now, Leipzig is not ready to push him into the transfer market in the summer, after all, such a player, it is not easy to find a replacement.
Leipzig is now in third place in the Bundesliga, 3 points ahead of fifth-place Freiburg, and the next four rounds of the league as long as they seize the opportunity, the hope of qualifying for next season's Champions League is very high, then the team will naturally receive a large amount of bonuses and broadcast fees, so they do not need to sell the pawn to get funds, so Leipzig also closed the door to Nkunku's negotiations. Of course, another implication of leipzig's operation is to further raise the price of Nkunku, even if it is to be sold, 65 million euros is not enough. For those big teams that want to get Nkunku, if they want to get him at all costs, they will have to "bleed" in their wallets.
