Bayern Munich chief responds to links with Chelsea star

Bayern unlikely to swoop for Nkunku

Bayern Munich chief responds to links with Chelsea star

17 January 2025 - 20:53

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has clarified that the club are not working on any new signings during the winter transfer window.

  • Chelsea eyeing swoop for Newcastle United winger?
  • Chelsea defender suffers season-ending hamstring injury
  • The German giants have had a good season in the Bundesliga, but there has been speculation that they could bolster their attack further.

    Talks were apparently held with the representatives of Christopher Nkunku, but a deal appears unlikely to happen at the current point.

    Chelsea are open to a potential swap with Bayern involving Mathys Tel, but the Munich giants have no interest in negotiating such a deal.

    Meanwhile, Bayern are also reluctant to meet the €70 million price tag for Nkunku. They are prepared to wait until the summer to re-negotiate.

    When pressed on the speculation, Eberl said that Bayern have no interest in doing anything before the transfer window closes on February 3.

    He said: "We're extremely happy with our squad. The squad is very, very well positioned in terms of quality and quantity.

    "We have no interest in doing anything."
