He was brought to Chelsea as the big goalgetter in 2023, but has never had time to meet expectations before he was injured in several rounds. There have been five games of balloon scoring celebrations on Christopher Nkunku in five Conference League games this season, but in the Premier League, the Chelsea manager clearly believes the Frenchman should be second. Nicolas Jackson has gained full confidence at the top, for Nkunku, who has finally remained injury-free, this is unsustainable.
According to Sport, the 27-year-old is very keen to leave Stamford Bridge as early as January, first on loan, then a permanent transfer this summer.
The Spanish media claims Nkunku’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has offered his client to Barcelona, where Nkunku is willing to take a sharp cut in salary to make the transfer possible. Barcelona are in dire need of an alternative to Lewandowski, who with a total of 16 goals in 18 La Liga games, has only scored two goals in the last seven games.
