Chelsea Ready to Sell Star Player to Manchester United for £35 Million: Reports
- Chelsea plans to sell forward Christopher Nkunku to Manchester United this summer for a reported £35 million fee.
- The transfer follows Chelsea’s recent £78.5 million UEFA fine for breaching spending rules, which pressures them to reduce squad costs.
- Nkunku, 27, joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million but has struggled to secure a regular role amid new signings Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
- Chelsea’s former player Glen Johnson remarked that Joao Pedro, the Brazilian, faces a challenging task ahead if he wants to achieve success where Nkunku did not.
- This potential sale illustrates Chelsea’s efforts to balance finances and clear out fringe players, while Manchester United weigh Nkunku as a cost-effective attacking option.
