Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Christopher Nkunku’s Chelsea future as the French forward looks almost certain to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
It’s been a difficult few years at Chelsea for Nkunku, who initially struggled with injuries, and who has since failed to get back to anything like his best form.
The 27-year-old now looks to have completely fallen out of favour under Enzo Maresca, and Romano seems very confident that he’ll be leaving the Blues this summer.
See below for Romano’s latest update on Nkunku on X, with the journalist stating that Chelsea have been open to selling the player since January…

Unsurprisingly, it seems Nkunku himself is keen on a move away as he wants to get more playing time.
The former RB Leipzig man has previously shown that he can be a top performer, so one imagines there’ll be some big clubs tempted to take a chance on him.
Even if Nkunku no longer looks good enough for a key role at Chelsea, it seems likely that it’s not too late yet for the player to turn his career around.
