Chelsea misfit Christopher Nkunku 'agrees' transfer exit as Blues eye swap deal
Share:
Bayern Munich have reportedly already agreed terms with Christopher Nkunku and want to sign the Chelsea star this month. The Blues star has been confined to Premier League appearances from the bench under Enzo Maresca after spending much of his first season at Stamford Bridge injured. The Frenchman has, however, racked up 13 goals this term with 11 coming in 10 outings in cup competitions.
Bayern have reached a verbal agreement with Nkunku and plan to sign the 27-year-old to a long-term contract, should they be able to come to a deal with Chelsea, according to reports in Germany. Nkunku prefers to join the Bundesliga giants this month and is Bayern's top transfer target.
Negotiations are said to be ongoing between the clubs with 19-year-old Mathys Tel a possible incentive to be used in a swap deal. Tel could choose to remain at the Allianz Arena which would not dampen Bayern's intention to sign Nkunku, however.

Chelsea were interested in the French youngster in the summer and could revisit that if encouraged to do so by Bayern. Tel signed a contract extension until 2029 less than 12 months ago. The ex-Rennes starlet has made just seven appearances under Vincent Kompany this term. Tel is said to have told Kompany earlier this month he would like to succeed with Bayern however.
