Christopher Nkunku is expected to leave Chelsea this summer transfer window which is about to open soon. The Chelsea’s striker didn’t get much game time at Chelsea and the injury concerns are also considered by Chelsea board. Coach Enzo Maresca didn’t want the Christopher as he plays Nicolas Jackson as his number 9. There was a genuine interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester United in the recent January transfer window for the player and it is expected to ignite again.
Christopher Nkunku’s time at Chelsea could be coming to an early end, with reports suggesting that the French forward is expected to leave the club. The former RB Leipzig star has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge since his arrival, largely due to persistent injury setbacks and limited opportunities on the pitch.
Despite being seen as a marquee signing in the previous window, Nkunku failed to earn regular game time under new head coach Enzo Maresca, who prefers Nicolas Jackson as his leading number nine. The 26-year-old’s absence from the starting lineup has raised eyebrows among fans, with many questioning whether the club views him as part of its long-term plans.
Injury concerns have also played a significant role in Nkunku’s underwhelming spell in West London. The Chelsea board is reportedly considering parting ways with the striker, believing his fitness issues could hinder his consistency and availability in the future.
