Christopher Nkunku has earned praise from Chelsea staff following his strong displays in the Club World Cup, notably scoring against Benfica and featuring in the final against PSG. However, despite his contributions, his long-term role at Stamford Bridge remains unclear.
After injuries hampered his first season, Nkunku now faces stiff competition from Cole Palmer and new arrival Joao Pedro. Though Chelsea appreciate his versatility and are open to him staying, they won’t block his exit if a suitable bid arrives.
Interest from Barcelona, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich is growing, and while Chelsea aren’t actively pushing him out, the coming weeks could bring formal offers that test the club’s stance.
