Chelsea are on the verge of signing Christopher Nkunku. And not only that: the Blues want to continue poaching at RB Leipzig and also lure Josko Gvardiol to Stamford Bridge.
Everything already seems to be settled between Christopher Nkunku and Chelsea; the Frenchman completed his medical check in Frankfurt under the supervision of the Blues and is said to have already signed a preliminary contract. An agreement with RB Leipzig also seems to be only a matter of time: the Premier League club should be willing to pay more than the 60 million euros stipulated in Nkunku’s contract in order to get the attacker’s contract.
According to Matt Law from the British Telegraph, Chelsea have already set their sights on the next transfer target, Josko Gvardiol. There is also said to be an exit clause in Gvardiol’s contract, which is around 50 million euros. The Telegraph report speaks of “advanced talks” that Chelsea are said to have had with RB Leipzig in the summer about Gvardiol’s commitment. With Cesar Azpilicueta ( 33) and Thiago Silva (38), Chelsea have two top performers who are in their final years of their careers. After Wesley Fofana’s commitment, the next young defensive talent is to be signed with Gvardiol.
