Chelsea have made £65 million decision – as Frenchman can make January move

CHELSEA have reportedly told Bayern Munich they want around £65million for Christopher Nkunku this January window amidst constant reports that the club are ready to let the French star leave.

Enzo Maresca loves to employ Jackson as his main man in the Premier League, meaning that Nkunku has only been able to get much of his minutes in the conference League and cup competitions, which is not what the attacker wants.

That has led to reports that Nkunku could leave Chelsea this month and the Blues are interested in a move for 19-year-old Bayern forward Mathys Tel to replace him if he departs.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Tel has spoken with boss Vincent Kompany and hopes for a successful future in Bavaria, but we are hovering, and The report states that the club asked to be informed on Tel’s current availability and initial talks were held over a possible swap deal.

Bayern are keen on a move for Nkunku, who is facing an uncertain future after being left with a diminishing role at Stamford Bridge under Enzo Maresca, but the Sun have claimed that the German giants have been told that a fee of £65 million will get a transfer deal done.

The reports come after pundit Chris Sutton tipped the club to offload Nkunku during the January window.

‘I can see Christopher Nkunku leaving,’ Sutton told NewBettingSites. ‘Enzo Maresca seems reluctant to use his bench and Nkunku hasn’t had enough regular game-time.

‘The fact he’s down the pecking order and not getting regular game time, it certainly tells you that Maresca thinks he’s OK, but you need more than OK if you want to push for the Premier League title.

‘He had that horrific injury but unless you get regular game-time, it’s really difficult to find that rhythm.

‘He is a talented player but it looks like another one where it’s just not going to happen for him at CHELSEA.’
