Bayern Munich’s next target in the transfer window is reported to be Chelsea FC’s Christopher Nkunku.

Bayern Munich are weighing up a bid to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea. It has been known for some time that Bayern have been monitoring Nkunku this summer, and they could move for him once they have completed the sale of fellow French forward Kingsley Coman to Al Nassr for around £30million.

Chelsea have rejected an ‘insulting’ offer from Borussia Dortmund for out-of-favour midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, according to reports. Chukwuemeka is part of a Chelsea ‘bomb squad’ as the Blues look to offload several players, including Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell.

Bayern are now hoping Chelsea are more realistic with their asking price given Nkunku has been made available for sale this summer. Driving the move is Bayern chief Max Eberl, who has been a fan of Nkunku since the Frenchman's time with RB Leipzig.
