Ultimately, nothing happened but long term interest remains. And so, Bayern wait. In fact, according <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Plettigoal\/status\/1955343574435840269\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florian Plettenberg<\/a>, the club might wait until the Bundesliga transfer deadline day of September 1st:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"duet--article--blockquote _1teeyfa0 ls9zuh9\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Understand that a deal for Christopher Nkunku and FC Bayern until Deadline Day is possible, as revealed on our show yesterday. Much now depends on whether Bayern re-enter the race for Nick Woltemade.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"duet--article--blockquote _1teeyfa0 ls9zuh9\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Nkunku is keen to join Bayern, but has many suitors. There was already a verbal agreement with Bayern in January. Something Eberl loves: he can play as a No 9, No 10, and on the wing. RB Leipzig open for a loan. Chelsea\/Nkunku want a permanent deal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Generally, the waiting game is played by the team with the greater negotiating power. And, though Bayern\u2019s depth has been shredded to pieces, Chelsea\u2019s desperation to offload the Frenchman is clear and even greater. The longer the Bavarians wait, the greater the chances are Chelsea will lower their demands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But that is also not a given. January\u2019s transfer deadline day came and went without Chelsea letting up. If Nkunku would be set to play an important role in the squad, this could be a dangerous game for Bayern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich\u2019s reported interest in Chelsea FC\u2019s Christopher Nkunku stretches back for many years, but it seemed to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":142185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[84584,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-142184","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-bayern-munich-transfer-news-and-rumors","9":"tag-soccer","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115021083050539272","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
