Christopher Nkunku appears to be unhappy at Chelsea and it has emerged that his agent, Pini Zahavi, has approached Barcelona about his client.
Interestingly, Zahavi also knows how to count Barcelona first team coach, Hansi Flickand the striker, Robert Lewandowski, as clients.
Catalan outlet, Sportkeep in mind that Christopher Nkunku would now prefer to leave the club, but the £52m-rated striker (Sky Sports) will have to wait as the report suggests Barca are unwilling to move for him in the January window.
At this point it is not clear how willing Enzo Maresca and others are Chelsea The board would agree to allow the striker to leave west London at any time, and no sale price was discussed.
The 27-year-old was not a regular for the Blues, but still managed to score 15 goals and provide four assists (transfer market).
Nicolas Jackson’s form was brilliant in the 2024/2025 season. – nine goals and three assists – and therefore it is no wonder that Maresca continues to leave the former RB Leipzig ace on the sidelines.
Lewandowski continues to score goals in the Spanish league at a rate of knots as well, and it’s not too hard to imagine that next summer might be a better time for Zahavi to bring Nkunku to the Spanish giants as the Polish hit-man begins to finish his professional career at the top level.
Sport also note that Nkunku wants a starting place should he move on, having started just two of Chelsea’s 17 Premier League games this season.
Given Lewandowski’s form, this is unlikely to happen if the forward stays at Barcelona, as expected, for another season.
Clearly, the current situation is unsustainable for Nkunku, so if not Barcelona, another European giant will surely come in his place.
