While there has not been any formal movement between Bayern Munich and Chelsea for Christopher Nkunku, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting that both Bayern and RB Leipzig are still working to get the attacker on loan:
Chelsea are still talking to Bayern and to Leipzig over Christopher Nkunku. Both German clubs are asking for a loan. Chelsea told them: permanent transfer or nothing.
Chelsea wants (needs?) to let Nkunku go, but does not want to risk losing the chance at getting transfer fee
by just loaning him out. Meanwhile, neither Bayern Munich, nor RB Leipzig seems ready or willing to buy Nkunku. For Bayern Munich, Nkunku could be without a starting role after Jamal Musiala returns, which makes the situation very tenuous.
