Bayern Munich could miss Chelsea attacker Christopher Nunku.
The French winger made a heavy impression during the club's World Cup, but he could still be sold in the summer window.
Nunku was not recorded in Chelsea's Matchday Squad against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Bayern Eye Move for Christopher Nunku
Despite the signing of Luis Diaz from Liverpool, Bayern wants to add a quality wing to their ranks after Kingsley Coman left the club.
Bayern are long -term admirers of Nunku and Max Eberl knows him very well. The German champions wanted to sign him during the January transfer window, but they were not willing to get Chelsea's asking price.
In recent weeks, Nunku has emerged as an option for the Bavarian giants. Chelsea would like to sign Xavi Simons and he could arrive when Nunku leaves.
Bayern has had contact with the blues about a possible movement for the 27-year-old winger, but it looks unlikely that they can close a deal.
Christian Falk told Cfbayern that the Agent of Nunku, Pini Zahavi, chelsea -bosses met during their Premier League collision against Palace.
Zahavi told Bayern that Nunku, who has a contract until 2029, will stay in London for another year.
The Bild journalist tells us that there is still hope for the transfer to continue, especially because Nunku wants to move to Bayern.
Bayern wants to loan him, while Chelsea wants to load him a permanent deal.
Chelsea could be willing to sell him for around £ 35 million plus add-ons, and Florian Plettenberg claims that Bayern has already agreed with NUGKU.
Is Bayern left disappointed again?
Nunku only made nine starts in 27 Premier League performances in 2024-25, and it is unlikely that he will appear regularly this season.
He is expected to lose the pecking order after the arrivals of Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, and his position will be a serious threat if the Blues Alejandro Garnacho and Simons sign.
Chelsea wants to discharge some of their extraordinary players such as Raheem Sterling, Ben Chillwell and Renate Veiga.
Bayern is linked to a movement for Nick Woltemade, but Stuttgart has rejected their last bid for the attacker.
