The 2024 summer mercato has come to an end, but the rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain continue. Today, L’Equipe is reporting that a transfer of Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea’s 26-year-old attacking midfielder (contract runs until 2029) trained in Paris, is a possibility, despite the fact that he plays little Premier League football for the Blues.
” The Blues have already been sounded out by a handful of European clubs.
“For the moment, the interested party has not entered into discussions with his club with a view to a possible move, this winter or next summer. But the question will soon arise. Given his situation and his stats (admittedly against minor opposition), the Blues have already been sounded out by a handful of top European clubs, including Manchester United, who are in a poor position and determined to strike at the mercato.
Nkunku ticks a lot of the boxes of the capital’s new project: French, trained in Paris, with a team spirit, versatile and still young. The player’s current sporting impasse could turn into an opportunity.
If he were to move, he would not opt for a loan deal, preferring to project himself towards another challenge. Chelsea, for their part, could be open to a departure given their bottleneck up front.”
Nkunku has played just 154 minutes in the league since the start of the season (for 1 goal), but has shone in the Conference League and EFL Cup with 9 goals and 1 assist in 634 minutes. Admittedly, this wasn’t against European giants. Still, it’s interesting.
At the very least, he’s got the desire to do something other than sit on the bench in the league, and clubs could be interested. His profile could be of interest to PSG, with a certain versatility (midfielder, axial striker and winger) and the ability to be decisive.
The return of Le Titi has already been mooted several times and could please both the fans and the player himself, who left because he was short of playing time but never closed the door.
Be warned, however, that nothing concrete has yet been said, although there are other possible outcomes in this dossier.
