Bayern Munich cool interest in Christopher Nkunku over price tag

Bayern Munich once had their sights set on Christopher Nkunku, but a move now looks unlikely.

Despite strong links over the winter, the club never reached an agreement with Chelsea for the French forward. Talks happened, with Max Eberl even speaking directly to Nkunku, but no deal materialized.

Christian Falk reports that Bayern were recently informed Nkunku wants to leave Chelsea this summer. While the forward still hopes for a move to the German giants, Bayern are hesitating. The main issue is the high transfer fee, which the club sees as a major stumbling block.

Nkunku’s struggles at Chelsea have fueled his desire to move. Although he has managed some game time, injuries have disrupted his season badly. The lack of consistent minutes has left him frustrated, pushing him to seek a fresh start elsewhere.

While Bayern admire Nkunku’s qualities, the price tag could see them shift focus to other targets. For now, a reunion between the Bundesliga champions and the talented attacker seems out of reach unless the financial demands change drastically.
