The RB Leipzig would be ready to bring Christopher Nkunku back to Germany, as part of a large deployment agreement that would see Xavi Simons join Chelsea for 60 million pounds Sterling ($ 81 million).
The Bundesliga club spoke of the sensational idea of a player-resident exchange, Chelsea preparing to separate from several players, including Nkunku, before betting on his best offensive targets.
Garnacho stays in the line of the blues
Nkunku arrived in Chelsea in June 2023 for 52 million pounds sterling ($ 70 million), with the reputation of being one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in Europe. But the dream quickly turned short. A long injury ruined its first season, slowing down its progress and preventing it from winning in the starting eleven. Now 27 years old, the French international clearly indicated that he wanted a new start before the transfer window closed. Chelsea should be time to separate, and Leipzig could be the ideal output door.

The last season of Nkunku in Germany was simply electric, with 16 goals in 25 appearances. Leipzig has never really replaced it, and the opportunity to find his former Talisman is too tempting to be ignored. But it's not just nostalgia. Leipzig is convinced that Nkunku could instantly improve his attack, especially after losing striker Benjamin Sesko in Manchester United for 74 million pounds sterling ($ 99.5 million) earlier this summer.
Even if Chelsea wins the gold with Simons, the hunt for Alejandro Garnacho will continue. The 21 -year -old Argentinian international is open to a transfer, but United maintains its price at 50 million pounds sterling ($ 67 million). Blues, on the other hand, think they can negotiate the price before the deadline for transfers.
Chelsea has already caused a sensation on the transfer market, with the recruitments of Liam Delap, João Pedro, Jamie Gittens and the Brazilian prodigy Willian Estevao. The objective is clear: depth, competitiveness and an attack capable of adapting to all tactical requirements. The Blues will start their Premier League season against Palace on August 17.
