TOP STORY: Bayern to bring Nkunku from Leipzig
Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann will try to sign RB Leipzig’s talismanic attacking midfielder Christopher Nkunku during the summer transfer window, according to Pedro Almeida.
The France international has captured attention this season, scoring 30 goals and assisting another 20 in 48 appearances across all competitions.
This includes the 24-year-old directly contributing to 12 goals across the Champions League and Europa League this term, helping Leipzig to the Europa League semifinal, where they hold a 1-0 advantage over Rangers with the second leg to play on Thursday.
Nkunku’s performances have resulted in various clubs showing interest in signing him, with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and AC Milan among those who have been linked with a €60 million move ahead of the summer.
Having once again confirmed their status as Bundesliga champions, Bayern are also now seemingly vying to bring in Nkunku.
The Bavarian club are notorious for attracting the biggest talent from within the Bundesliga — such as the transfers of Marcel Sabitzer from Leipzig in 2021 and Robert Lewandowski from Borussia Dortmund in 2014 — but Leipzig have shown a determination to keep Nkunku as his contract doesn’t run out until the summer of 2024.
