In search of offensive reinforcement with a view to the next winter transfer window, PSG has identified Christopher Nkunku as a potential target. But competition will be fierce to sign the Chelsea striker.
Back in the French team at the end of 2024, Christopher Nkunku has the confidence of Didier Deschamps with the Blues. The former RB Leipzig striker would like to feel as important at Chelsea, but that hasn't been the case since the start of the season. It must be said that London coach Enzo Maresca has options in attack and for the moment, Christopher Nkunku is not part of his plans. A situation that the French striker is having a hard time with, so much so that he is seriously considering leaving Chelsea in the winter transfer window. A situation that Paris Saint-Germain could benefit from, as explained The Team in today's edition. The national daily confirms rumors of interest from PSG in the 26-year-old player, who “checks a lot of boxes in the capital’s new project”. He is French, trained at PSG, his collective state of mind is impeccable and he is versatile.
PSG's interest in Nkunku is very real
Everything you need to please Luis Enrique, who would welcome his arrival. But in this file, L'Equipe reveals that Paris Saint-Germain is not in pole position to date. Indeed, it is Manchester United who have made the most progress on the possible arrival of Christopher Nkunku since the Red Devils, in a poor position in the Premier League standings, would like to offer the former Leipzig player to their new coach Ruben Amorim. The Mancunian club does not have unlimited financial resources but seems ready to make a colossal offer to convince Chelsea to sell Christopher Nkunku to a competitor. Will PSG be able to align with Manchester United's upcoming proposal? The Team does not have the answer. But the interest of the reigning French champion in his former striker is very real, and this file therefore risks livening up the winter transfer window in the capital.
