RB Leipzig are pushing to bring Christopher Nkunku back to Germany, with talks intensifying over a permanent transfer from Chelsea.
The 27-year-old France international joined Chelsea from Leipzig in 2023 for a reported €60 million, but after two injury-hit seasons and limited Premier League starts, both club and player are now open to a move. Leipzig, where Nkunku previously thrived—scoring 70 goals in 172 appearances—are eager to re-sign him as they rebuild their attack.
Chelsea has made it clear: they will only entertain a permanent deal, rejecting Bayern Munich’s recent loan offer. Nkunku shares that stance, preferring a long-term move to reignite his career.
Negotiations are ongoing, with Chelsea valuing Nkunku at around €50 million. While no agreement has been reached yet, Leipzig are confident they can strike a deal before the transfer window closes.
🔍 Key Points:
Nkunku wants to leave Chelsea and is open to returning to Leipzig
Chelsea rejected Bayern’s loan bid; only permanent offers will be considered
Leipzig are leading the race, but Inter Milan and Bayern remain interested
Nkunku’s contract runs until 2029, giving Chelsea leverage in talks
If completed, the move would mark a high-profile return for one of the Bundesliga’s former stars—and a fresh start for Nkunku after a turbulent spell in London.
