Chelsea open to Nkunku exit as interest builds

The Frenchman is understood to be eager for more regular game time after a frustrating spell at Stamford Bridge.

Several top European clubs are monitoring Nkunku's situation closely and are expected to step up their interest in the coming weeks. The player remains highly regarded on the continent, and there is no shortage of suitors willing to offer him a fresh start.

Chelsea, for their part, have been open to a potential sale since January. The club is believed to be willing to sanction his departure if the right offer arrives as they continue reshaping the squad ahead of the new season.

Further talks are expected to take place shortly, with momentum building around a move. While no formal bid has been submitted yet, all signs point towards Nkunku bringing his time in west London to an early end.
