Inter Milan are reportedly in direct talks with Chelsea about the possibility of signing forward Christopher Nkunku.

This according to French outlet L’Equipe, via FCInterNews. They also report that the 27-year-old could even be brought back into the fold at Stamford Bridge.

Inter Milan have been keeping tabs on the situation of Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku.

The Nerazzurri have been aware of the opportunity to sign the 27-year-old former RB Leipzig forward for some time. He is a player Chelsea are desperate to sell this summer.

According to L’Equipe, Inter Milan are in direct talks with Chelsea about Nkunku.

The Nerazzurri see the France international as a possible Plan B if they are unable to sign Ademola Lookman from Atalanta this summer.

However, there is also another possibility for Nkunku.

Even though the 27-year-old looks to have been frozen out at Chelsea, he could regain his place in the project.

Blues coach Enzo Maresca hasn’t totally closed off to the idea of keeping Nkunku, reports L’Equipe.
