Nkunku Chelsea is in a difficult situation, leaving the team is almost a foregone conclusion

July 13 Chelsea striker Nkunku got along poorly with coach Maresca in the team and had a clear tendency to leave the team. In 2023, Nkunku joined Chelsea with a high price of 60 million euros. He should have become the core of the forward line, but his injuries and position changes frequently in the past two seasons have made his performance far lower than expected. Although he scored 15 goals in all competitions last season, he only scored 3 goals in the Premier League and could only serve as the No. 2 and No. 3 striker in the team. At the Club World Cup, Nkunku performed with all his strength, trying to consolidate his position. However, with the new forward player joining and Maresca prefers Jackson, Nkunku's position in the team is becoming increasingly unstable. During training, Maresca often arranged for Nkunku to play at No. 6, which shows that in his tactical system, Nkunku is not a suitable candidate for No. 9, and the relationship between the two has also reached a deadlock.

This winter window, Nkunku had the idea of leaving the team, and Bayern expressed his interest at that time. Now, he still believes that he will not stay at Chelsea again, and the transfer is imperative, but the next company has not yet been confirmed. Its transfer fee is expected to be between 35 million and 40 million euros. Arsenal, Bayern, Manchester United and Liverpool are interested, but there is no substantial progress at the moment. Although Manchester United and Inter Milan have initial contacts, they have not been in-depth; although Bayern pays attention, they have other priority goals; Liverpool once gave up Nkunku and chose Nunes in 2022, and it remains to be seen whether to reconsider this summer. For Nkunku, who wants to participate in next World Cup, it is crucial to choose the next home carefully.
