Inter Milan are the latest club to express an interest in Christopher Nkunku, with the Frenchman’s future one to watch until deadline day according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.
Nkunku is one of a number of players the Blues are looking to move on before the end of the transfer window, and he’s fallen further down the pecking order with the signings made this summer.
Chelsea have been busy revamping their attack and have signed Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, whilst they are hoping to add both Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho to the squad.
In order for the Blues to push on and complete deals for Simons and Garnacho they need to create space in the squad, meaning Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson need to depart.
The Blues have made good progress with outgoings, but it could be slightly more challenging to find Nkunku a new club.
Chelsea are said to want £43m for Nkunku, having wanted in excess of £60m for the 27-year-old back in the January window.

Bayern are said to be looking at Nkunku as a replacement for Kinglsey Coman, and Plettenberg has now provided an update.
He took to X.com and said:
“Inter have now also expressed interest in signing Christopher #Nkunku.
“However, Inter’s priority remains Ademola #Lookman. A total verbal agreement on a long-term contract is 100% in place, and Lookman wants Inter – but the deal is not yet in the final stages.

“Inter, Bayern, Leipzig and others – Nkunku is one to watch until Deadline Day.”
It’s been a struggle for Nkunku at Stamford Bridge following his £52m move from RB Leipzig and it will be interesting to see what price the Blues get.
It’s not just Nkunku who looks like he’ll be leaving, Jackson also appears to be heading towards the Stamford Bridge exit door.
The Blues are said to want £80m for the 24-year-old, but there’s reportedly a feeling from clubs that can be negotiated down.
Jackson is attracting interest from Newcastle, whilst Italian clubs AC Milan and Juventus are also admirers of the Senegal international.
