Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is expected to leave the club this summer. Talks are already underway, and several top European teams want to sign him.
NKUNKU DECIDES TO MOVE ON
The French player has decided to leave Chelsea after just two seasons. Nkunku signed a contract until 2029 when he joined, but hasn’t been in the starting lineup regularly. He started only 9 out of 27 Premier League matches this season. Transfer talks are underway, and it’s likely he will leave before the new season starts. Earlier, Bayern Munich showed interest in January, and clubs like Arsenal are closely watching his situation.
CHELSEA’S SEASON: MIXED RESULTS AND CHANGING PLANS
Chelsea has been inconsistent in the 2024/25 season. They had a strong 4-1 win over Djurgarden in the Conference League semi-final first leg, keeping their hopes for a European trophy alive. However, in the Premier League, Chelsea is still struggling to secure a Champions League spot with just four games left. They face a key clash against Liverpool, who have already won the title. Chelsea needs to keep winning to stay in the race for the top four as teams like Tottenham and Manchester United are closely following.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR NKUNKU AND CHELSEA?
Nkunku is still considered a talented forward and is likely to attract interest this summer. Arsenal and Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the competition for his signature, as both teams are in next season’s Champions League. Meanwhile, Chelsea is preparing for a busy transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad after another transitional year. The club plans to reinvest funds from Nkunku’s sale to reshape the team for new manager Enzo Maresca. Chelsea’s immediate focus, however, remains on winning their upcoming games to finish strong in the league and Europe.
