Sky Sports journalist says Manchester United cannot afford to buy ‘elite’ striker this month
Manchester United are currently in pursuit of attacking reinforcements and Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku is a player of interest.
TBR Football previously revealed that talks between Manchester United and Chels🐲ea have taken♎ place involving Nkunku and Alejandro Garnacho.
Sky Sport Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg then claimed that Manchester United have now ‘seriously entered the race’ to sign Nꦇkunku.
Plettenberg also said Nkunku and Garnacho are even being considered as part of a swap deal between Manchester United and Chelsea.
Now, Sky Sports jou💦rnalist Dharmesh Sheth has shared the latest on Nkunku and Man United.
While there is a problem for Man United on this 🎀front, Sheth shared what could happen to “smooth the w🐻ay” for Nkunku to join the Red Devils.
Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea would ‘smooth the way’ for Christopher Nkunku to join Manchester United
Sheth, speaking on the Transfer Talk podcast, a🔜dmitted that Man United have “no chance” of signing Nkunku permanently this month.
The Red Devils are currently only consideriܫn🌟g a loan because a permanent move would cost them too much money, said Sheth.
However, if Man United ma💧naged to sell Garnacho to Chelsea, it would smooth the way for Nkunku to join the Red Devils.
At the same time, Sheth acknowledged this is a “big if”, while Bayern Munich are also circling around the 𝔉Frenchman.
“Manchester U🔯nited have looked into the possibility of a deal for Chris😼topher Nkunku, but there would only be a loan,” said Sheth.
“They’ve got no chance of doing a permanent deal fꦓor Nkunku. It will cost them t⭕oo much money.
“But clearly, if United – and it’s a big if – did business 🗹with Chelsea for [Alejandro] Garnacho, they’ll already be talking then.
“And it would smooth the way for Nkunku to maybe make a move on loan to Old T☂rafford.
“But Nkunku is interested in Bayern Munich🧸 as well, and they maybe have a player in Mathys Tel that Ch🐎elsea could be interested in.”
Nkunku’s stance towards Man United loan
Fabrizio Romano recently claimed that, while Nkunku “could be open” to joining Man United, he’s only keen to do so if h🌄e’s on their books next season.
Nkunku – who Jude Bellingham once called “elite” – is interested in eওither a loan with obligation to buy or a permanent move, according to🐈 Romano.
“ꩵMy understanding is that Christopher Nkunku is not that ๊open, at the moment, to a straight loan,” said Romano.
“So when you see reports on Nkunku going on loan to Man United, if it’s a loan wit෴h obligation, a permanent transfer, C🐲hristopher Nkunku could be open.
“If it’s a straight loan or not guaranteed obligation then at this moment in time, 💙not sure this deal could happen.”
