Crystal Palace FA Cup Eberechi Eze 2024-25
Bayern Munich are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze as part of their summer rebuild. Nkunku arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2023 with high expectations after a standout spell with RB Leipzig. However, the French international has endured a challenging period in west London, with injuries and inconsistent form severely limiting his impact.
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to The Times, Bayern's interest in Nkunku is driven by a combination of injuries and player exits that have left their attacking unit depleted. Leroy Sane recently joined Turkish side Galatasaray on a free transfer, while rising star Jamal Musiala suffered a fractured fibula during their recent Club World Cup loss to Paris Saint-Germain, an injury that will sideline him for approximately four months. The need for reinforcements has become urgent, and Nkunku’s prior Bundesliga experience and versatility in the final third make him an appealing option for the German champions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Nkunku is just one of several players Bayern are monitoring this summer. Eze is reportedly being tracked by the Bavarian club after they missed out on two key targets: Florian Wirtz, who completed a move to Liverpool, and Nico Williams, who opted to remain with Athletic Club. Eze’s future remains uncertain as both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also eyeing the England international.

The Blues are open to a permanent transfer for Nkunku, despite his contract running until 2029. A sale would help them balance the books and create room for new signings. Manchester United are also keeping tabs on the Frenchman, with United’s recruitment chief Christopher Vivell having previously worked closely with Nkunku during their shared stints at both RB Leipzig and Chelsea.
DID YOU KNOW?
During his time with RB Leipzig from 2019 to 2023, Nkunku scored 47 goals in 119 Bundesliga appearances and was widely regarded as one of the league’s most dynamic attackers. His 2021–22 campaign was particularly exceptional; he netted 20 goals and added 15 assists, earning him the Bundesliga Player of the Season award. His proven track record in Germany gives Bayern added confidence that he could reignite his form at the Allianz Arena.

WHAT NEXT?
As Bayern look to reshape their squad following a turbulent Club World Cup exit and a spate of injuries, their pursuit of Nkunku underscores their intent to remain competitive on all fronts. Whereas, for Nkunku, a fresh start in a familiar league might offer the best chance to regain confidence and reclaim his status as one of Europe’s elite forwards, ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
