Leipzig in Discussion with Chelsea Regarding Nkunku's Possible Re-Signing
In the world of football, transfer rumours are a constant buzz, and the latest one revolves around Christopher Nkunku and Chelsea. According to reports from The Athletic, a potential deal for Nkunku's return to RB Leipzig from Chelsea is under consideration, but the transfer remains uncertain.
Currently, Nkunku is a part of the FC Chelsea squad, having joined the English club last season for a reported fee of 60 million euros. However, his happiness at Chelsea seems to be in question, with negotiations for a possible return to RB Leipzig underway.
The proposed deal involves a swap, with Nkunku moving back to Leipzig and Xavi Simons, a Dutch football player, joining Chelsea. Yet, no agreement has been finalized between the two clubs. Nkunku is reportedly open to taking a pay cut to facilitate the move, but the deal has not yet materialized, and Chelsea may still decide to keep him.
With only about a week left in the summer transfer window as of August 26, 2025, the situation could change rapidly. It's important to note that no details have been provided about the terms of the negotiations between Leipzig and Chelsea.
Before joining Chelsea, Nkunku spent four seasons with RB Leipzig, helping the German club compete in the Bundesliga. His successful stint with Leipzig included a move to FC Bayern Munich, which seemed promising but ultimately proved unsuccessful. With Chelsea, Nkunku has won the Conference League in the spring and the Club World Cup in July.
As for Xavi Simons, while he has been repeatedly linked with Chelsea this summer, no details have been provided about a potential deal involving him and the English club. Simons currently does not play for any of the clubs mentioned in this article.
The media has also reported Bayern's interest in Nkunku, with the German club reportedly wanting a loan deal, while Chelsea was said to prefer a permanent sale. A potential sale of Nkunku to Chelsea is said to be a prerequisite for Xavi Simons to join Chelsea, but no official confirmation has been made on this matter.
