Bayern want Chelsea ace Nkunku to replace Kingsley Coman | OneFootball

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has been lined up as a replacement for Kingsley Coman, who is set to join Al Nassr from Bayern Munich, according to L’Equipe.

The Blues have been looking for takers in their desperate attempt to offload the France international, and Bayern could finally take him off their hands.

The Bundesliga champions are set to sell Coman to Al Nassr. They’re poised to recoup a €30 million fee for the Frenchman who has agreed a three-year deal with the Saudi Pro League giants.

Bayern are poised to plough those funds into bringing Nkunku back to Germany after a frustrating spell in West London.

The Bavarians have already raided Liverpool for an attacking player after snapping up Luis Diaz in a €75m deal, and Chelsea is next on their radar.

They want more attacking firepower, and Nkunku has emerged as a target, with Chelsea more than willing to negotiate a fair deal.

Bayern director of football Max Eberl is reportedly a huge fan of Nkunku, who is open to the idea of returning to Germany for another spell.

This is not the first time Bayern have pursued Nkunku. Personal terms were reportedly agreed during the January transfer window, but the move stalled when Chelsea refused to drop their €70 million asking price.

After failing to drum up interest from other clubs, Chelsea have been forced to drop their asking price and are now willing to negotiate a deal for around €50m.

Nkunku isn’t the only Chelsea star on Bayern’s radar. Out-of-favour striker Nicolas Jackson has also been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena.

The Senegal striker has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge after falling down the pecking order following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.

Newcastle United are also said to be in the race for his signature. Reports suggested Bayern even discussed a long-term contract with Jackson, but he no longer appears to be a top priority for the club.
