Romano: Chelsea expects multiple teams to be interested in Nkunku and refuses to be loaned by Bayern

Hupu, August 20th, famous reporter Romano updated his personal YouTube podcast, and the Italian journalist also updated the situation of multiple teams. According to reports, the reporter also updated the situation regarding Chelsea striker Nkunku.

It is reported that Chelsea needs to complete the sale of some players before pushing forward the introduction of Leipzig's Xavi Simmons and Manchester United's Garnacho. French striker Nkunku is on their sales list. Bundesliga club Bayern Munich has been paying attention to his situation, but their bid for the striker has stalled.

Bayern's offer to loan Nkunku last weekend with a buyout clause was rejected, and so far, Bayern seems unwilling to pay enough fees to buy out him, and the Bayern board of directors only approved the signing of Nkunku as a loan. Chelsea prefers to sell Nkunku permanently because he is not in the team's long-term planning.

But anyway, Chelsea feels that more clubs from England and other countries will join in the fight for Nkunku, so they are optimistic about the sale. As Nkunku's old club, Leipzig is still interested in the French striker. The 27-year-old striker is also willing to reunite with his old club, but there are other options. Although the deal with Leipzig is not close to being reached, all parties are confident that they can agree with Chelsea on the transfer fee for the French international.

In addition, Inter Milan is also interested in Nkunku, and his contract will not expire until 2029.

Chelsea intends to introduce Simmons to enhance the strength of the forward line, and the clubs of both sides have started negotiations on this. Chelsea has not yet made an offer for the Dutch international, but Simmons himself hopes to join Stamford Bridge. Chelsea hopes to deal with some marginal players first and then consider further signings.
