Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United remain interested in Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku, keeping the "case open" as the transfer window nears its conclusion. Discussions initially began in December during talks about Alejandro Garnacho potentially moving to Chelsea, but no agreement was reached. The situation could reignite if Bayern Munich allows Mathys Tel to join Chelsea, freeing up Nkunku for a move to Old Trafford.
- Limited Chelsea Role: Nkunku has struggled for consistent Premier League minutes under Enzo Maresca, starting just three league games and contributing two goals and one assist in 419 minutes.
- Manchester United Interest: United are exploring Nkunku as a potential addition, particularly with speculation surrounding the futures of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
- Transfer Domino Effect: A move could depend on Chelsea signing Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich, a deal that would free Nkunku to make the switch.
- Bayern Munich Option: Bayern Munich are also monitoring Nkunku's situation should Tel decide to leave.
- France International: Nkunku, capped 14 times for France, has primarily featured in cup competitions for Chelsea this season, making him a viable target for clubs seeking attacking reinforcements.
