https://www.transfermarkt.com/nkunkus-rb-leipzig-future-in-doubt-as-new-details-emerge-of-potential-chelsea-transfer/view/news/411914Leipzig might be near losing Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea in the near future according to Transfermarkt.
He actually newly signed a contract extension with his team until 2026. However it doesn't seem like that will be enough to stop Chelsea from signing him. I assume that he wouldn't like to refuse a big chance to play in the best league in Europe also. Chelsea are trying to consolidate their squad to be stronger next season. I said "next season" because this transfer isn't planned for January I'm afraid. Actually Nkunku is a really impressive youngster and he is already a very reliable striker for his team.
His last season performance was like 35 goals and 20 assists in 52 games. Now he is on 6 goals and 1 assist by his 11th game already. However I hope that this doesn't become another disappointment coming from Leipzig for Chelsea. Timo Werner was also amazing before coming here but all his great performance was gone later on.
It's been reported since the last transfer window though that nkunku willing to move to premier league side like chelsea and manchester united but the club stated that going to reject any proposal coming to them but this time the rumor seems a bit different.
Chelsea might have an insider agent that could make this transfer happened despite the long term contract.
