Reports | RB Leipzig set £100 million asking price for Christopher Nkunku amidst interest

Despite an underwhelming second season at RB Leipzig, the German side opted to keep their faith in Christopher Nkunku and it paid off in spades. The 24-year-old turned into arguably one of Europe’s best attackers in the 2021/22 season as he contributed to 55 goals, a tally that included 35 goals and 20 assists across all competitions. That includes 20 goals and 15 assists in just the Bundesliga but Leipzig’s struggles meant that only finished fourth, 29 points behind Bayern Munich in first.

That has reportedly deterred Manchester United from any potential move this summer as the Red Devils have other concerns but Paris Saint-Germain still remain in the running. The Parisians did sell Nkunku three years ago to Leipzig but are keen on bringing him back in light of the attacker’s evolution into a consistent offensive presence. They’re not the only horse in the race as both Arsenal and Manchester City are also reportedly looking at a move alongside a few others.
