Chelsea want to keep Christopher Nkunku despite growing interest in former RB Leipzig frontman

Chelsea want to keep forward Christopher Nkunku despite growing interest from abroad.

Nkunku is under contract at Stamford Bridge until June 2029, having signed a six-year deal upon his arrival from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023.

Chelsea paid Leipzig £52million for Nkunku, who has so far delivered 15 goals in 41 appearances for the Blues, mostly as a substitute.

Reports in Spain recently claimed that Barcelona were on Nkunku's long list of oversees admirers.

Closer to home, Manchester United have also been linked with a possible move for the 27-year-old.
