Christopher Nkunku is apparently close to an extension at RB Leipzig. Like the “kicker” and the “picture“-Zeitung unanimously report, the outstanding player of the Saxons of the past season will sign for another year until 2025. The new contract includes an exit clause, which will take effect for the first time next summer, and a significantly higher salary.
According to this, an applicant would have to pay a sum of 60 to 65 million euros from 2023 to free the 24-year-old offensive man from the “Red Bulls”. The French national player, who was the fourth most dangerous player in an international comparison with 54 goals in 51 games in 2021/22, would draw level with Naby Keïta (27) as a record departure in Leipzig or even replace it. The midfielder switched to Liverpool in 2018 for 60 million euros.
