Fabrizio Romano has revealed the truth behind rumours surrounding Christopher Nkunku leaving Chelsea for Manchester United in January.

Bayern Munich aren't actually interested in signing Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku despite reports around the attacker's future.

At 27, Nkunku is one of the oldest players in the squad. He’s also on a relatively shorter contract, which runs “only” for another 4.5 years, through 2028-29. The Telegraph’s report adds that Chelsea would listen to offers only in the same ballpark as we paid to RB Leipzig in 2023, so around £50m.

Football Insider has learned that Chelsea are reluctant to allow Christopher Nkunku to move on amid reported interest from Man United.

Christopher Nkunku hasn't featured much for new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca - he could be on the move in January.

Chelsea are not entertaining talks with Premier League rivals Manchester United over Christopher Nkunku, according to reports. The France international has struggled for game time in the Premier League so far this season, with Nicolas Jackson the preferred choice up front for Enzo Maresca.

Christopher Nkunku is already considering his Chelsea future despite only joining the club in the summer of 2023.
