Lacking playing time at Chelsea, Christopher Nkunku does not rule out the possibility of a departure, nor that of a return to Paris Saint-Germain. The French striker would be the subject of concrete discussions with a view to a loan with an option to buy for the second part of the season.
Things are likely to change in the offensive sector of Paris Saint-Germain. Absent from Luis Enrique's plans, Randal Kolo Muani will undoubtedly not be selected this winter. And in the event of departure, the former Nantes player would probably be replaced. We should not expect to see the capital club offer itself a size. If sports advisor Luis Campos is working well on the Viktor Gyökeres track, it is mainly with a view to the summer transfer window.
Chelsea open to loan
As for the January window, Paris Saint-Germain should instead look for an opportunity. Which explains why the name of Christopher Nkunku comes up so insistently. Last month, the English press denied the hypothesis of a departure of the Chelsea striker. But the Frenchman's playing time remains low. The striker, recruited for 60 million euros in 2023, has only started two games in the Premier League this season. A situation which does not seem to affect his manager Enzo Maresca. “ Nkunku would like to play more? And I would like to have long hair », laughed the bald technician a few weeks ago.
This kind of response may ultimately prompt Christopher Nkunku to leave, especially if Paris Saint-Germain is in the mix. Indeed, the X PSG Inside-Actus account affirms that the ex-Parisian titi is not against a return to his training club. The reigning French champion has therefore started discussions with Chelsea in order to obtain a loan with an option to purchase. If management launched this approach, it is also because his coach Luis Enrique validated the profile of Christopher Nkunku, whose versatility appeals to the Spaniard. The two men are now reportedly waiting for an agreement between the two clubs.
