Christopher Nkunku appears to have said goodbye to his RB Leipzig fans in a social media message posted by the Frenchman. The 25-year-old is set to join Chelsea this summer, though no announcement has yet been made.
The German side finished the season in style with a 2-0 cup final win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday with Nkunku opening the scoring in what is expected to be his last game for the club. Whilst supporters of both Chelsea and Leipzig are aware of his situation, there is yet to be official confirmation from either club.
Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl was coy on the move when asked last week about Nkunku's impending departure to London, simply saying: "He could be." It was only in January that he went much further, admitting: "The signs are very, very clear that he's moving to Chelsea."
