According to Fussball Transfers, Liverpool and Real Madrid are not giving up on Christopher Nkunku despite his medical with Chelsea.
Liverpool & Real Madrid hunt Chelsea target
Well, in a rare instance, the France international has already undergone medical examinations with Chelsea, despite the fact RB Leipzig and the Blues are yet to come to an agreement – according to Bild.
Despite that, Liverpool and Real Madrid still have hope of signing Nkunku.
The Frenchman put his name up in lights last season when remarkably scoring 35 goals in 52 appearances, while also impressively providing 20 assists.
Fussball Transfers believe RB Leipzig are willing to sell Nkunku for a sum of €60m (£53m) in the summer of 2023.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid have continued to monitor the 24-year-old as he carries over his exquisite form from last season into the current campaign.
So far this term, Nkunku has scored six goals in 11 appearances for RB Leipzig.
Liverpool & Real Madrid must push Chelsea all the way
In our view, Liverpool and Real Madrid are right to not give up their pursuit of Nkunku – he is worth fighting for.
The RB Leipzig No.18’s goal tally from last season is simply incredible, and puts him up there with the likes of Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe.
At the age of just 24, Nkunku could even improve on his current level, which is frightening to think about.
Just like the £75m fee for Virgil van Dijk and the £34m sum for Salah turned out to be bargains, we think the chance to sign Nkunku for just £53m is too good to turn down.
If he continues developing at this rate, he could even be worth three times that amount in a few years.
Keep an eye on this saga, as Nkunku looks set to be on the move in 2023.
