Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in bringing Christopher Nkunku back to the Parc des Princes, potentially offering Chelsea a swap deal involving French international Randal Kolo Muani.
PSG Eye Christopher Nkunku in Potential Swap Deal for £77m Star
Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig this summer, has faced a frustrating start to life in London despite being the club’s top scorer this season.
The talented forward has found regular league starts hard to come by under Enzo Maresca, with just one Premier League start and 164 minutes of league action to his name so far.
This lack of consistent opportunities has sparked speculation about his future at Stamford Bridge, even as he remains determined to fight for his place.
PSG’s interest in Nkunku comes as no surprise. The 26-year-old began his professional career in the French capital before thriving in the Bundesliga.
PSG view him as a homegrown star who could rekindle their attacking prowess and resonate with their fan base.
Nkunku’s versatility and proven track record in Germany have made him a highly coveted player on the European stage.
On the other side of the proposed deal, Randal Kolo Muani’s situation at PSG mirrors Nkunku’s at Chelsea. The £77m striker, signed from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, has struggled to find his footing under Luis Enrique.
Kolo Muani has reportedly been told he is not in the club’s immediate plans, fueling speculation about a potential January exit.
A swap deal could present a win-win solution for both clubs and players. Nkunku’s return to PSG would be a sentimental and strategic move, while Kolo Muani could bring a dynamic new element to Chelsea’s attack.
Both forwards excelled in the Bundesliga, with Kolo Muani contributing 26 goals and assists in his best season at Frankfurt, and Nkunku amassing 33 at Leipzig.
While Chelsea are not actively looking to offload Nkunku, they remain open to serious offers.
For now, the Blues are focused on summer transfer plans, but PSG’s continued interest could make this swap deal a reality sooner than expected.
Fans of both clubs will be eager to see how this potential blockbuster unfolds.
