Nerazzurri initially considered the Frenchman earlier this month when the agency sent him to the club but feared his injury record, Chelsea’s high demands pushed the idea to the side.

What makes this move even more appealing is the ongoing deadlock between Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
Bayern has been working on getting a loan deal from Nkunku, but Chelsea and the players are aware that a permanent transfer is the only acceptable result.
Chelsea’s valuation of Nkunku, who scored 15 goals in all games last season for the Blues, remains an incredible point. The London club initially asked for about €45 million, bringing its asking price slightly below €40 million to attract serious bidders.
However, they remained firmly refusing any simple loan arrangement. The Blues are only willing to make entertainment quotes, which include purchase obligations or direct permanent transactions.
Nkunku hopes to leave Chelsea forever
From Nkunku, the situation is equally simple. He doesn’t want to take action temporarily and makes it clear that he prefers a long-term project where he can rebuild himself as one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking midfielders.
Meanwhile, the International Trade Commission has requested details of the potential transaction conditions to be updated and will conduct an internal assessment before deciding whether to continue negotiations.
The club’s hierarchy knows that given his fitness history and great opportunities, Nkunku can represent a gamble because of his good quality during his time at RB Leipzig.
If international currencies decide to move forward, they may not only face competition from Bayern, but may also be subject to competition from other European clubs closely monitored.
