Christopher Nkunku was on the radar of several clubs during the winter transfer window, but his departure from Chelsea never materialized. Despite strong interest from teams like Bayern Munich and Manchester United, the high financial demands of the 'blues' thwarted any possibility of a transfer. The London club set a price of 75 million euros and refused to negotiate a decrease, dissuading potential buyers.

The French forward, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2023 for 60 million euros after shining at RB Leipzig, has failed to establish himself as a key player in Enzo Maresca's system. Constant injuries have limited his participation, accumulating just 1,753 minutes over more than two seasons. Currently, his role is secondary, behind Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer in the offensive rotation.

Nkunku wanted to leave, but Chelsea didn't want to lose money

As reported by Daily Mail, Nkunku wanted a change of scenery to regain the spotlight, but Chelsea showed no flexibility in negotiations. In contrast, the London club allowed Joao Felix to move to AC Milan, making it clear that they would only entertain a high offer for the French player.

Despite staying in the Premier League, his future remains uncertain. All signs point to him being back in the spotlight in the summer, but if Chelsea maintains its inflexible stance, the outcome could be the same.
