RB Leipzig's Christopher Nkunku shines in the Bundesliga, attracting interest from Bayern Munich.
But the fee could become a problem for Munich.
Munich/Leipzig – Ten goals and seven assists in twelve games in the second half of the season: Christopher Nkunku is doing really well for RB Leipzig* in the Bundesliga*.
As of Matchday 29, the Frenchman had scored 17 goals in as many appearances and prepared 14 more goals.
Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig: One for Bayern Munich?
The 24-year-old striker is chasing a record from the 2019/20 season, set by Jadon Sancho.
The Englishman scored 17 goals and 17 assists in one season for Borussia Dortmund.
No player had ever managed so many assists in the long history of the Bundesliga.
Because express footballer Nkunku also scores a lot of goals, FC Bayern Munich* should follow his work very carefully from afar.
Sport1
recently reported
that the German Bundesliga record champions should deal with a possible commitment of the fast and accurate attacker.
But: At that time it was still said that RB Leipzig allegedly demanded a fee of 70 million euros for Nkunku *.
That total would be difficult for Bayern to master while also trying to extend with Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry.
FC Bayern: Munich should be interested in Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig
A lot of money is planned for this desired scenario on Säbener Straße in Munich *, even if only three out of four or even only two out of four cornerstones decide to stay at Bayern.
But: The latest development in Saxony would probably suit the people of Munich.
Because: As
Sport Bild
now reports, the people of Leipzig are working on extending Nkunku's contract, which dates to 2024, ahead of time.
As a treat, the new French international should get a fixed transfer fee in the contract.
The report mentions allegedly 60 million euros.
That would be at least less than the rumored 70 million euros.

With this benefit, RB Leipzig wants to ensure that Nkunku stays for another season.
Which should be difficult enough.
Earlier in the year, France's always well-informed
L'Équipe
wrote that the striker was drawn back to Paris Saint-Germain, where he was once deemed insufficient.
“A lot can happen before the summer.
It would be disrespectful to the club to think about it now.
At the end of the season I will sit down with the club, my agent and my family and make a decision," the Nkunku newspaper quoted as saying at the time.
According to
Sky
, Manchester United are also trying to get him.
Nkunku as a Bayern target?
The ball is literally in RB Leipzig's hands.
