Regarding Manchester United’s alleged interest in acquiring Chelsea playmaker Christopher Nkunku in January, Fabrizio Romano has provided a new update.
This season, the Red Devils have had trouble scoring goals in the Premier League. In their first 11 games, they have only scored 12 goals.
Nkunku won’t be cheap, as the Blues are expected to seek £52 million for him, despite recent reports that United has taken an interest in him.
Romano has now disclosed in an exclusive update on his YouTube channel that United had not contacted Chelsea about Nkunku.
Fabrizio Romano has given a fresh update on Manchester United’s purported interest in signing Chelsea playmaker Christopher Nkunku in January.
The Red Devils have struggled to score goals in the Premier League this season. They have only scored 12 goals in their first 11 games.
Despite recent allegations that United has expressed interest in Nkunku, the Blues are anticipated to want £52 million for him, so he won’t be cheap.
In a recent exclusive post on his YouTube channel, Romano said that United had not gotten in touch with Chelsea over Nkunku.
For United, Nkunku would be a fantastic addition.
When he was at Leipzig, the 27-year-old was one of the most sought-after strikers. Chelsea’s decision to sign him before other teams did made a big impression.
Last season, Nkunku’s rookie season was forgettable because of injuries. Although he hasn’t been hurt in the current season, he has hardly made an appearance in the Premier League.
With ten goals to his credit, the Frenchman leads the Blues in scoring, but manager Enzo Maresca hasn’t started him in the top division since mid-August.
We think United can take advantage of the fact that the former Leipzig player is reportedly unhappy with his circumstances and bring him to Old Trafford at the beginning of the year.
Nkunku may play in center midfield or anywhere in the final third. He may play in a 3-4-2-1 system behind the primary striker as one of the inverted wingers under Amorim.
We think he may be Bruno Fernandes’ ideal mate. In January, United is unlikely to be able to finance a permanent move. A lending agreement containing a purchase option could be taken into consideration.
