Chelsea handed big Christopher Nkunku transfer blow amid Manchester United interest

Chelsea may be about to miss out on one of their main attacking transfer targets this summer. According to Leipziger Volkszeitung, Christopher Nkunku will not be moving to Chelsea or Manchester United, who are also said to be interested, this summer and is expected to remain at RB Leipzig.

football.london reported last month that the Blues wanted to bring the 24-year-old to the club in the summer transfer window. However, Leipzig are determined to keep hold of the France international and have been locked in negotiations in an attempt to persuade him to extend his contract at the Red Bull Arena.

Paris Saint-Germain have been credited with an interest in Nkunku, despite selling him to Leipzig in 2019. Man United have also been linked with the attacker as Erik ten Hag looks to rebuild the squad at Old Trafford.
