Man United Eyes Loan Deal for Chelsea's Nkunku

Manchester, UKSun Jan 26 2025
Manchester United is mulling over the idea of signing French forward Christopher Nkunku on loan from Chelsea. This comes after Nkunku expressed his frustration with limited game time at Chelsea. Despite his versatility and impressive goal tally, he's not a regular starter in the Premier League. Chelsea, however, wants a substantial fee, around £65-70 million, before considering his exit. Bayern Munich has shown interest, but they haven't made a solid offer yet, giving United a potential opening. United is currently discussing an internal plan for a loan deal, as a permanent move seems unlikely. This could be a win-win situation for both Nkunku, who would get more games, and United, who needs strong attacking options. There's even a possibility of a swap deal involving Alejandro Garnacho, who Chelsea is keen on.
