Chelsea discloses when to announce the signing of €60m forward

A report from Germany claims that a deal for Chelsea to sign a €60million-rated forward may be completed before the 2022 World Cup. Will Christopher Nkunku be a good addition at Stamford Bridge?

On Wednesday, Sport Witness carried a story from SportBild claiming that Blues chairman Todd Boehly was rendezvousing with Oliver Mintzlaff, the CEO of RB Leipzig and a man charged with overseeing the Red Bull ‘soccer’.

In the summer, the German secured the return of former CFC forward Timo Werner, and apparently made an alliance with the American during that time. Now the two occasionally meet for coffee.

Significantly, the west London outfit could now create leverage or priority regarding two impressive Leipzig stars they covet: Christopher Nkunku and Josko Gvardiol. Of course, Boehly did not manage to sign either of the Red Bulls whilst the previous transfer window was active.

Nkunku along with Gvardiol both put pen to paper extending their respective time with RBL. This extinguished attentiveness from Chelsea’ – briefly. But it appears Boehly is now back with a fresh desire for talent from Germany, say the outlet. I have said before that I advocate CFC capturing the quality duo, especially Nkunku.

Notably, Chelsea are said to be already ‘fixing the deal for the attacker’, which is on the ‘home stretch’. The Frenchman has a release clause of €60million, with foreign clubs permitted to bid at the end of the current campaign. He might even sign for the Blues prior to the World Cup, before joining next year.
