Falke talked about Nkunku's transfer updates, and Bayern has contacted the player's agent Zahavi.

Bayern is in talks with Nkunku. Nkunku played an important role during the Club World Cup and was originally expected to stay at Stamford Bridge in the new season. But in a recent pre-season friendly match, Nkunku was left out of the roster against Leverkusen, and he is likely to leave Chelsea.

24}25 season, Nkunku made a total of 27 appearances in the Premier League, with only 9 starts. With Gittens, Joao Pedro and Delapp joining, his position in the team may fall further. And Chelsea is considering signing Simmons and Garnacho.

In January this year, Bayern intended to introduce Nkunku, but they were unwilling to pay a transfer fee of £60 million. Chelsea spent £52 million to buy Nkunku in 2023, and now the Blues are ready to accept a lower price than that number for Nkunku, specifically £35 million plus floating terms. After Koeman joined Riyadh for victory, Bayern was looking for a new attacker after their offer to Walter Mad was rejected by Stuttgart.

Plettenberg revealed that Bayern is discussing the possibility of signing Nkunku. Falk also confirmed that Nkunku hopes to join Bayern. Bayern thinks he is a good investment because he can play in multiple positions and even serves as a substitute for injured Musiara. Bayern has contacted Nkunku's agent Zahavi, and the key is to find the right trading structure.
