🔴 Nkunku eyeing up a move away from Stamford Bridge

Christopher Nkunku never managed to find his place in this chaotic Chelsea set up and will now be eyeing up a move away from Stamford Bridge after making just nine starts in the Premier League during the 24/25 campaign.

Nkunku still has plenty to offer a top side in Europe at the age of 27, but his best position is still yet to be established with the Frenchman playing as a striker, left winger and attacking midfielder during his time at Chelsea.

Here are three sides that may consider making a move for Nkunku:

Manchester United (Best Bet)

Summer Transfer Window

Manchester United to sign Christopher Nkunku

Manchester United are still eager to bolster their attacking options despite the signing of Matheus Cunha already in the summer transfer window. The names floating around Manchester United at the moment are Hugo Ekitike and Bryan Mbuemo, but United could end up having to pivot to Christopher Nkunku who was heavily linked to Manchester United during the January transfer window.

Nkunku ticks a lot of boxes for Ruben Amorim's preferred style of play with the ability to play as one of the two 10s just in behind the striker or as the lone striker himself, similar to Matheus Cunha who was signed with the same responsibilities in mind.

Manchester United have joined the race for Hugo Ekitike but face fierce competition for the Frankfurt forward from Chelsea and Liverpool who have the advantage of being able to offer Champions League football. Manchester United may also find themselves priced out of a move for Ekitike with Frankfurt knowing they could create a bidding war for the forward whose priced has been quoted as high as £100 million which would certainly price Manchester United out of a move.

Nkunku is a more realistic option for Manchester United, there aren't a host of teams currently eager to pick up Nkunku and United should already have laid the foundations for a move via their interest in January. Nkunku is an option for United to watch in the final few weeks of the window if they miss out on more expensive targets, the Chelsea man is reportedly available for £40 million.

Bayern Munich

A move back to Germany could be the best move for Nkunku's career as he hasn't managed to adapt to the pace and physicality of the Premier League, with injuries often proving a road block for Nkunku during his time at Chelsea.

However, Nkunku was incredibly effective in the Bundesliga during his time at RB Leipzig - scoring 70 goals across his 172 appearances for the club across four seasons at the club, his best individual season at Leipzig saw him score 35 goals and provide 17 assists which proves he can still be a real threat in the Bundesliga.

Bayern came very close to signing Christopher Nkunku during the January transfer window but were put off by Chelsea's asking price of £60 million which has since dropped. Bayern could be tempted to go in for Nkunku again with the ageing profile of Thomas Muller and Bayern needing a player that can offer competition to Jamal Musiala.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Currently priced at 34.0 to make the move to Frankfurt, this is a story that could develop quickly after Frankfurt sanction the sale of Ekitike to one of his various suitors. It is expected that Frankfurt will net around £70 million from the sale of Ekitike and already have funds available from the sale of Omar Marmoush in January.

Nkunku is the perfect replacement for the Ekitike and Marmoush pairing with the 27 year old possessing many of the same traits as the duo. Nkunku may be tempted by a more regular role in this Frankfurt side than he would get at Bayern Munich where he'd probably have to play second fiddle to Jamal Musiala.

Eintract Frankfurt can also offer Champions League football to Nkunku, they are one of the few clubs that can offer this as well as consistent playing time for Nkunku. These links may intensify following the sale of Hugo Ekitike.


🔵 Jack Grealish set to leave Manchester City

Jack Grealish looks set for a move away from the Etihad after being left out of Manchester City's squad for the Club World Cup.

There are a few potential suitors for Grealish who could benefit from having the 29 year old in their ranks, but it will have to be a team that can afford to pay his lofty wages, quoted by some to be as much as £300,000 per week.

Here are a few possible destinations for the left winger who still has plenty to offer:

Napoli (Best Bet)

Summer Transfer Window

Napoli to sign Jack Grealish

Napoli have been in the market for a left winger since January when they made their interest for Alejandro Garnacho known. While the Manchester United winger still looks set to depart Old Trafford, it seems as though he prefers to stay in the Premier League with Chelsea also heavily linked.

Napoli are attempting to replace Khvica Kvaratskhelia who departed for PSG during the January transfer window. Jack Grealish is the perfect stylistic fit for this replacement, Grealish would benefit from the slightly slower style in Italy which may be an avenue he can follow to reignite his career.

Wages may still be a stumbling block for Napoli, but they have plenty of room to negotiate following their Serie A title win and the sale of Kvaratskhelia which will have freed up room for a move like this. Napoli should also be able to convince Grealish of their project, having recently signed Kevin De Bruyne.

Alternative Destinations

Aston Villa

A return to Villa Park is not completely off the table for Grealish who played for Aston Villa from 2014-2021. Aston Villa could be in need of attacking reinforcements with the loans of Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford coming to an end.

The main stumbling block for Aston Villa will be Grealish's wages, they are already in a tight position with PSR after failing to qualify for the Champions League and Grealish's wage demands may be unsuitable for the financial position that Aston Villa currently find themselves in.

However, if Grealish is willing to compromise on these wage demands, a transfer fee should be in reach for Aston Villa who would certainly benefit from having Jack Grealish back in the squad. This would be an emotional return for Grealish, but it relies on the 29 year old sacrificing his wage demands and the early signs are that he has no intention of doing so - though this could change later in the window if Grealish has not found a suitor.

Dortmund

Dortmund may soon be on the hunt for a new left winger with the links between Chelsea and Jamie Gittens growing stronger with each passing week. Dortmund tick a lot of boxes for Grealish in that he'll be able to play in the Champions League and get a fresh start away from the constant criticism he receives in England.

Dortmund were briefly linked with Grealish during the January transfer window, although nothing ever materialised aside from an interest in the 29 year old. Dortmund should have no issues in meeting the £40 million asking fee for Grealish but it is worth noting that Grealish would become Dortmund's highest paid player if he were to join on his current wages.

Dortmund do have a few players that are on £100,000 a week or higher, so they aren't totally alien to handing out high wages but this is likely to be on a short contract if Grealish was to make the move to play in front of the Yellow Wall.


Newcastle Look to Add an Attacking Spark

Newcastle will be hoping to bolster their frontline in the coming weeks and months to add some depth and quality before the 25/26 season.

They'll be competing in the Champions League next season and with ageing players like Callum Wilson (33) and Jacob Murphy (30), it's likely that Eddie Howe will look to target a younger player which he can look to develop alongside the likes of William Osula and Anthony Gordon.

Newcastle continue to be linked with Bryan Mbeumo which would be the perfect signing to compliment the already effective front three of Newcastle. However, the Brentford winger seems to have opted to join Man United, leaving Newcastle with a few other options.

Harvey Elliott (Best Bet)

Summer Transfer Window

Newcastle to Sign Harvey Elliott (Liverpool)

Harvey Elliott looks set to depart Anfield this summer, after only starting two games during the 24/25 season under Arne Slot. The addition of Florian Wirtz may further push the 22-year-old out of the door, with his playing time set to decrease further if he is to stay at Liverpool.

Elliott has been linked with Dortmund and Brighton already this summer but with Dortmund recently signing Jobe Bellingham and Brighton not qualifying for Europe next season, a move to St James' Park may materialise as the most likely option for Harvey Elliott.

He would be useful to Newcastle, he can fill in a variety of positions, including playing off the right wing on occasion and filling in at centre midfield.

Alternative Transfer Targets

Joao Pedro

Joao Pedro is set to leave Brighton this summer, with the player seeking to play in the Champions League next season, something that Newcastle can offer. Chelsea and Newcastle have been the clubs most regularly linked with Joao Pedro in recent months.

Joao Pedro has reportedly informed Eddie Howe of his willingness to play across the frontline in a bid to try and force a move through to St James' Park. Brighton do have a reputation of being tough negotiators so this is a saga that could rumble on into the final weeks of the transfer window.

Joao Pedro has been linked to Newcastle before, he almost joined the Magpies back in 2022 and it seems as though Newcastle have kept regular tabs on the Brighton star since then. He registered 17 goal contributions across his 30 appearances for Brighton last season which suggests that he can add quality and depth to the Newcastle attack.

Anthony Elanga

A natural fit for Newcastle to offer some competition to Jacob Murphy on the right wing is Anthony Elanga. The links between Newcastle and Elanga are tentative right now, but speculation has been developing in recent weeks that Newcastle are eyeing up a move for the former Man United winger.

Elanga's speed and directness align perfectly with Eddie Howe's vision and preferred style of play. He would certainly add an explosiveness to Newcastle which they were missing at times last season. It is thought that Nottingham Forest would demand around £50m for Elanga, which is a price tag which may slightly deter Newcastle, but it is probably justified seeing as Elanga registered 18 goal contributions last season, his best tally in the Premier League to date. Elanga also aligns with Newcastle's strategy of signing players in the 21-23 age bracket.
