Christopher Nkunku’s departure from Chelsea this summer is now seen as almost inevitable, with the player seeking more regular playing time and several top European clubs monitoring his situation.
Sources confirm that Chelsea have been open to selling Nkunku since January, as injuries and competition for places limited his impact at Stamford Bridge.
Nkunku, 27, is understood to be eager for a fresh start, and further contact between Chelsea and interested clubs is expected in the coming days.
The French international joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig with high expectations, but a stop-start spell due to fitness concerns and squad rotation has left both the player and the club ready to part ways.
