German media: Bayern competes with multiple teams for former Bundesliga top scorer Nkunku, Chelsea offers him at a discount.

Not every player can thrive in the Premier League; for instance, former Bundesliga top scorer Nkunku has had an unsuccessful career at Chelsea. Now, the player is seeking a transfer, and the Blues are willing to sell Nkunku.

The latest news from the German media outlet Sport Bild indicates that Bayern is competing with several teams for Nkunku, and the competition is intense. Besides Bayern, Premier League clubs Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are also interested in Nkunku, along with Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan. Bayern primarily faces competition from Premier League teams, as any club in the Premier League currently has purchasing power comparable to that of Europe's elite.

It is reported that Chelsea initially valued Nkunku at €76 million, which is clearly unrealistic for a player whose market value is only €35 million. Now, in order to facilitate Nkunku's sale this summer, Chelsea has reduced the asking price to €51 million, although this is still €16 million above the player's market value.

For Bayern, with the most expensive Bundesliga player Musiala injured, they need to sign a new attacker to play behind Kane and act as a second forward. Although Nkunku has not succeeded at Chelsea, he is familiar with the Bundesliga and is a former top scorer. Finding quality attackers in the current transfer market is indeed challenging, and signing Nkunku could be a pragmatic choice for Bayern at this moment.

The 27-year-old Nkunku stands 1.77 meters tall, is a right-footed player, and primarily plays as a second forward and attacking midfielder. Last season, he made 42 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, starting 22 times, totaling 2,039 minutes on the pitch, contributing 14 goals and 5 assists. In the 2025 Club World Cup, he played 6 times, with 3 starts, totaling 287 minutes, contributing 1 goal and no assists.
