Liverpool interested in Chelsea player after Club World Cup win

Chelsea have won the Club World Cup, concluding a demanding season. The players are set for a break before returning for another significant campaign, with expectations now heightened for Enzo Maresca's team to challenge for the Premier League title.

Chelsea have already made several top signings this summer, including Joao Pedro who has proven important. The Club World Cup victory provides additional funds, and further signings are anticipated.

However, several players could leave Chelsea. Liverpool are reportedly interested in one such player, Christopher Nkunku, as per L'Equipe. Chelsea would demand around £35 million for the French forward.

Nkunku has struggled to settle since joining Chelsea from RB Leipzig for approximately £52 million in 2023, despite contributing positively in the recent Club World Cup win. His quality is not in doubt.

Liverpool are not alone in monitoring Nkunku; other top clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also believed to be interested in the French international.

While Chelsea seem willing to sell for significantly less than their original investment, the level of clubs interested suggests they shouldn't have difficulty attracting offers around the £35 million figure. The future for Nkunku appears likely to be away from Stamford Bridge, though it remains uncertain.
