Barcelona Targets Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku for January

Chelsea is reportedly open to selling Christopher Nkunku during the January transfer window. The French striker, who joined Chelsea in 2023 for €65 million, has struggled to make an impact due to persistent injuries.

Nkunku, who previously excelled at RB Leipzig with 58 goals in two seasons and earned the Bundesliga Player of the Year award, has only featured in 14 matches for Chelsea last season. This year, under coach Enzo Maresca, Nkunku has started just twice in the Premier League, fueling speculation about his future.

According to reports from The Sun, Chelsea is willing to listen to offers for Nkunku in the upcoming winter window. Barcelona, despite financial challenges, has expressed interest in the striker as they look to strengthen their attack. Nkunku's agent, Pini Zahavi, is actively exploring options to secure a transfer that will provide more playing opportunities for his client.

While the asking price remains unclear, Barcelona's ability to secure Nkunku depends on overcoming financial hurdles and meeting Chelsea's valuation. Fans eagerly await developments as the January transfer window approaches.
