Chelsea are hoping that the final two weeks of the transfer window will see them part ways with a number of first team players who are currently still with the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Player sales have come thick and fast this summer, with Noni Madueke<\/a> and Joao Felix<\/a> being the highlight exits in terms of money raised.<\/p>\n

Djordje Petrovic, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Armando Broja and Lesley Ugochukwu have all made permanent exits, helping raise funds for the flamboyant spending by the club this summer.<\/p>\n

There is still work to be done as far as Chelsea are concerned, and one player who has been strongly linked with a move away is Christopher Nkunku<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nkunku didn\u2019t return to pre-season training<\/a> when the rest of the squad did, with speculation surrounding him making his long-awaited exit from the club.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig are interested in Nkunku on loan<\/a>, however their Bundesliga rivals, Bayern Munich, are the ones who are pushing hard for a deal right now.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano has stated that there has been club-to-club contact frequently over the last few days, however there are still a number of hurdles to clear before it is a done deal.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cBayern Munich are going strong for Christopher Nkunku. From what I\u2019m hearing, club-to-club contacts have been ongoing every day in the last four or five days. So now the two clubs are negotiating also the formula, the numbers and everything. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversation is advancing between the two clubs, but it\u2019s not a done deal at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea spent big money on the addition of Nkunku two years ago, however injuries have contributed to him not making the impact he would\u2019ve liked at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that the Blues are lowering their price tag for Nkunku<\/a> as they begin to get desperate to move him on this month.<\/p>\n

Chelsea want to add Xavi Simons<\/a> to their ranks, however it has been said the deal has not progressed any further due to their desire to part ways with the Frenchman.<\/p>\n

Simons is desperate to join the Blues, however it feels as if that deal is going to go right down to the wire as the club try and sort a solution for Nkunku in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea are hoping that the final two weeks of the transfer window will see them part ways with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351588,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[20916,94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-351587","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-christopher-nkunku","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115044066649129720","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351587\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
