Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is reportedly open to a move to Manchester United, as discussions continue between the two Premier League clubs. The potential transfer could involve a swap deal with United’s Alejandro Garnacho.
Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for approximately £52 million, has faced challenges during his tenure at Stamford Bridge, including a significant knee injury that sidelined him for much of his debut season. This term, he has made only three Premier League starts, though he has been more prolific in European and cup competitions.
Manchester United has identified Nkunku as a potential target to bolster their attacking options. Reports suggest that intermediaries have facilitated discussions about a possible move to Old Trafford. Chelsea is reportedly considering offers in the region of £70 million for the French international.
Concurrently, Chelsea has expressed interest in United’s young forward Alejandro Garnacho. Both clubs are contemplating a swap deal involving Nkunku and Garnacho, though no final decision has been reached.
As the January transfer window progresses, the futures of both Nkunku and Garnacho remain uncertain, with further developments anticipated in the coming days.
