According to Bild, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool will have to pay €75m (£63m) if they want to bring Christopher Nkunku to the Premier League.
What’s the story?
Well, it was ESPN who revealed that Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing the Frenchman.
Elsewhere, Foot Mercato claimed that Tottenham want to sign Nkunku.
Now, Bild have shared how much he will cost the Premier League trio.
It goes without saying that £63m is a huge sum to pay – in Tottenham’s case, it would break their club-record transfer fee, which currently stands at the £53.8m spent on Tanguy Ndombele.
Nkunku has a contract with RB Leipzig until June 2024, and the German club’s Director of Football Oliver Mintzlaff has declared him as not for sale.
However, it seems he would give in, should a £63m offer arrive.
Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool should pay the money
£63m is, of course, a lot of money, but Nkunku is currently among the best performers in Europe, and will potentially be worth a lot more in 2023 if he keeps his form up.
So far this season, the former Paris Saint-Germain attacker has scored 22 goals in 33 games, while also providing 13 assists.
35 goal involvements in 33 games is an outstanding return, and at the age of just 24, Nkunku’s best years are ahead of him.
He also has 24 Champions League appearances to his name, so in terms of top-level experience, Nkunku has plenty of it.
Therefore, the £63m price tag is actually quite reasonable, and certainly shouldn’t put Mikel Arteta, Antonio Conte and Jürgen Klopp off.
