Chelsea Hopeful to Secure Around £35M for Selling Newcastle United, PSG Target | OneFootball

Newcastle United and PSG are reportedly among the clubs monitoring Christopher Nkunku’s situation at Chelsea, where the French forward has struggled to make an impact.

Nkunku joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million, but injuries and fierce competition for minutes have limited his contributions. His long-term future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain.

Earlier this year, journalist Ben Jacobs reported that PSG had explored a possible move before deciding to walk away. Bayern Munich also passed on a January transfer, though Sport Bild’s Christian Falk noted they could revisit the idea later this year.

While Chelsea will want to recoup as much as they can from the initial fee, one report reveals they are willing to cut their losses to move off from this transfer failure.

According to Metro, Chelsea are hoping to bring in around £35 million from selling Nkunku.

Bayern Munich have renewed their interest in Christopher Nkunku and are reportedly keen to strike a deal for the versatile attacker, according to a report from TEAMtalk last month.

Chelsea are said to be asking for around £50 million, but Bayern believe there’s room to negotiate a lower fee. Nkunku is understood to be open to a fresh start, and with his past success in the Bundesliga, Bayern are viewed as one of the frontrunners to sign him.

TEAMtalk previously noted that Chelsea are willing to sell Nkunku but initially set a £59 million price tag. That figure is currently out of reach for Juventus, who are hoping to lower the fee if talks progress.

Juventus’ ability to make a move could hinge on qualifying for the Champions League, which would boost both their finances and appeal to Nkunku.

The report also adds that Bayern and Newcastle United have both shown interest in the 27-year-old as potential suitors ahead of the summer window.
