Europe's top clubs hot for the next potential Bundesliga superstar - is FCB ahead of them?

Christopher Nkunku shines with top performances - the upswing of RB Leipzig is closely linked to the French.

Europe's top clubs have caught fire.

Leipzig - The era of Nagelsmann is long over at RB Leipzig, under his successor Jesse Marsch things are not going too well at the Bundesliga club.

But the title contender, who started the season with a mediocre start, was looking up - and one player played an enormous part in this: Christopher Nkunku.

In his third season after moving from Paris, the offensive man has developed into a valuable support in the offensive game of the Leipzig team.

The striker, who will be 24 on November 14, has already scored eleven goals in 17 competitive games.

The latest proof of his strong rise in form: In the top game against Borussia Dortmund, Nkunku triumphed and was a decisive factor in the home win over BVB with a goal and an assist.

A certain scene caused a sensation when the match winner interpreted the typical "roulette trick" of his compatriot Zinedine Zidane - and did it twice:

Previously, he had made his ex-club Paris St. Germain sweat in the Champions League, but RB Leipzig * still missed a deserved victory against the capital club.

The recent rise in form of the man, who lives next door to the club coach Marsch, has long since called top European clubs onto the scene.

As

reported by

, the list of people interested in Christopher Nkunku, who joined the RB Leipzig squad for 13 million euros in the summer of 2019, is getting longer and longer.

In addition to his ex-employer PSG, Manchester City, Juventus Turin and Real Madrid have also put out feelers.

In addition, after the convincing performances in the dress of the Saxons, the Frenchman also moved into the focus of FC Bayern *.

But there is one thing that could at least cause discomfort for Bayern: Nkunku's advisor is Pini Zahavi, with whom there was already a lot of friction due to his clients David Alaba and Kingsley Coman.

But what is the market situation around the shooting star?

RB Leipzig can sit back and relax: The contract runs until the summer of 2024, and there is no exit clause.

RB Leipzig: There are several reasons for Christopher Nkunku's increase in form

If “Christo”, as Nkunku is called by his colleagues, can maintain his outstanding form, the transfer to a European heavyweight would inevitably be due.

An essential factor for the top form is not only ex-coach Julian Nagelsmann, but also the current coach from the USA: Since this season Nkunku is no longer used on the left wing, but mainly acts on the "ten" or as a center forward.

No less important is the measure that the formerly rather thin professional kicker increased his weight by around five kilograms of muscle mass.

In addition, things are going well for the French international (currently not nominated) privately: This year Nkunku became a dad for the first time, which also seems to inspire the attacker from RB Leipzig.

Meanwhile, a PSG soccer player was dragged into a car and attacked with an iron bar.

Your teammate is in custody * - she is said to be behind the attack.
