PSG continue their campaign with all fronts open, still in contention to advance in the Champions League while maintaining dominance in France.

However, the Parisian club always seem to be making moves with the transfer market in mind.

Recently, we reported that PSG and Juventus are in talks over a permanent transfer for Randal Kolo Muani, currently on loan in Italy.

And even though Paris already have an electrifying attacking lineup, the Parc des Princes side are always looking to strengthen.

In this context, Christopher Nkunku is once again a topic of discussion.

According to Football Insider, Chelsea have decided to sell Christopher Nkunku at the end of the 2024-2025 season.

The report states that the Frenchman’s asking price would be between £60-70 million, which translates to around €70-80 million.

It also confirms that several clubs are interested in signing Nkunku. As a reminder, PSG were previously linked with their academy product by Ben Jacobs, who claimed the Parisians had a “genuine interest” in bringing him back.

Additionally, Fichajes.net has reported that Bayern Munich and Manchester United are also keen on the 27-year-old forward.

A difficult time for Nkunku’s PSG return

Truth be told, a return to PSG seems highly unlikely at this point.

It’s not a question of talent—Nkunku certainly fits Luis Enrique’s style and would complement his tactical approach well.

However, with the rise of young talents like Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué, combined with Ousmane Dembélé’s brilliant form and the recent signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, it’s practically impossible for PSG to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements.

We’ll have to wait until the end of the season to see if there are any changes in the Parisian squad.
