Christopher Nkunku was the outstanding player at RB Leipzig last season, scoring 35 times for the Red Bulls in all competitions. He also started the new season with two goals in two competitive games. It was all the more important for the Leipzig club bosses to extend the contract with Nkunku in the long term until 2026. Although that succeeded, the striker should still be an issue at Bayern.
The German record champion was traded as one of several top European teams as an interested party this summer.
As “Bild” football boss Christian Falk recently reported, FC Bayern should continue to keep a close eye on Christopher Nkunku’s personnel. Although not for the current transfer period, in which the activities of the German record champions on the player market should be almost complete.
But for the coming year, when Nkunku can leave Leipzig, according to consistent media reports, an extremely attractive offer for the top scorer should flutter into the house.
According to the media report, Munich’s interest in Nkunku will depend on how other personal details develop at and around FC Bayern. Leroy Sané and newcomer Mathys Tel are brought up by the “Bild” reporter.

Also England’s best striker Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, who could be a serious target for Bayern next summer.
The sporting development of Nkunku at RB Leipzig will be exciting this season anyway. With returnee Timo Werner he has strong competition in the attack line.
In the 2019/2020 season, Werner and Nkunku played together for RB Leipzig and were on the pitch together in 32 of the 34 games in the Bundesliga. While 26-year-old Werner had the best year of his career so far with 28 goals this season, Nkunku, who was a year younger, clearly fell behind with five goals.
