Chelsea and Juventus could do more business with each other when the transfer window opens this summer.
In January, Chelsea allowed Renato Veiga to join Juventus, and it is not impossible that the defender remains in Turin.
Last month, it was claimed that Chelsea have made Veiga available for transfer and that the Old Lady are keen to keep hold of him.
However, it looks like the Blues have directly offered another one of their stars to Juventus ahead of the next window.
Chelsea offer Christopher Nkunku to Juventus
Chelsea could sell Christopher Nkunku this summer, with the Allianz Stadium being a potential destination for the £52m forward.
According to Tuttosport, Chelsea and Juventus are set for talks about Nkunku, while the 27-year-old has already been offered to the Italian club.
A move away from Stamford Bridge this summer is likely to appeal to Nkunku, who has been a bit-part player under Enzo Maresca.
This season, Nkunku has made just nine starts in the Premier League and has barely played in his preferred role behind the striker.
He was also left out of the matchday squad for Chelsea’s 2-1 win against Fulham last month, with Maresca preferring teenage winger Tyrique George instead. Ultimately, all of the signs suggest that Nkunku does not have a future in west London.
Christopher Nkunku could remain in England
While things have not quite worked out for Nkunku at Chelsea, the Frenchman is still a quality forward. His record in Germany proves that.
For example, Nkunku’s best season at RB Leipzig saw the France international score an impressive 35 goals.
Christopher Nkunku’s 2021/22 stats | Appearances | Goals |
Bundesliga | 34 | 20 |
Champions League | 6 | 7 |
Europa League | 6 | 4 |
DFB-Pokal | 6 | 4 |
Total | 52 | 35 |
It is no surprise, then, that Nkunku has been linked to another top English club in Arsenal.
It is thought that Arsenal could make an offer for Nkunku and end his Chelsea nightmare this summer. The Gunners have done plenty of business with their London rivals in recent years, signing both Kai Havertz and Jorginho from them in 2023.
