Anyone else think Nkunku might leave Chelsea soon?

So, Christopher Nkunku is apparently looking for more playing time at Chelsea, but with all the attacking options they have, it’s been tough for him to get that. Manchester United’s been keeping an eye on him, but now Borussia Dortmund is reportedly in the mix for a loan deal. What do you think, will he leave soon or stick it out at Chelsea?

Yeah, I get why he’d want to leave. Chelsea’s got a ton of attackers and he’s barely getting the spotlight. But a move to United? That’s a big step…

True, I’m not sure if United would offer him much more time on the pitch either, tbh. It’s tough being stuck behind so many stars.

Exactly! And I don’t think Dortmund’s a bad option. They could give him the minutes he’s looking for, but it’s all up in the air for now.

I mean, €60 million for Nkunku seems a bit much for a loan deal. I get that he’s good, but will teams really go for that price?

Yeah, it’s high. I get that he’s a French international, but €60m for a loan? That seems like a lot. Maybe Chelsea’s just playing hardball.

Could be, honestly. If he’s not going to start regularly, why would anyone pay that much for a loan? Definitely feels like they want to cash in.

If Nkunku doesn’t leave in January, I can’t see him staying at Chelsea for much longer. He’s not getting the minutes, and it’s clear he wants more action.

I agree. If they don’t give him a chance soon, he’ll probably push for a move next summer for sure.

Yeah, he’s 27 now. He’s not going to wait around forever. He needs to be playing more regularly, especially with Euro 2024 coming up.

I feel like Dortmund might be a good move for him. They’re known for giving players a chance to shine, especially if Chelsea’s not giving him the time he needs.

True, but I wonder if he’s aiming for a Premier League team like United for more exposure. Dortmund’s great, but the PL’s where the spotlight’s at.

Fair point. United’s a huge stage, but I think it might be a risk for him. They’ve got a lot of attackers too, so would he even start there?

I’m just waiting to see where he ends up. If Chelsea’s not going to use him properly, he deserves a fresh start. Hope he gets the role he’s after.

Same. I really like Nkunku, but Chelsea’s squad is packed right now. He needs to go somewhere he can be a regular starter.

Exactly! And he’s still got a lot of potential. Just needs the right environment to show it.
