Munich / Bergamo – FC Bayern is also said to be interested in him: Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig is the shooting star of the Bundesliga*.
As of matchday 29, the Frenchman had scored 17 goals and prepared 14 more goals in just as many appearances.
Only in the twelve games in the second half of the season did the 24-year-old attacker score ten times and also set up seven goals.
For example, Nkunku will be a great hope for his club in the quarter-final second leg of the Europa League* after the Saxons had problems with Atlanta Bergamo in the 1-1 first leg at home.
The northern Italians had thrown out Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16.

RB coach Domenico Tedesco has due respect for the Lombards.
The 36-year-old, who was born in Italy, calls the Bergamo pros "machines" because they are so physically robust.
In the first leg, his team made "many unnecessary mistakes", Tedesco said of his analysis: "We have to limit that, it will be extremely punished on this stage." Atalanta is "a top team, so we need a top performance," he explained on the Press conference: "We are traveling to Bergamo with anticipation."
Atalanta was eliminated from the premier class in third place in a difficult Champions League group with Bayern conquerors FC Villarreal, Manchester United and Young Boys Bern and slipped into the Europa League.
For some observers, the Italians are one of the favorites to win the competition this year.
Bergamo had won both games in the intermediate round against Olympiakos Piraeus (2: 1, 3: 0) and in the round of 16 against Leverkusen (3: 2, 1: 0).

RB Leipzig* failed in the Champions League in a hammer group with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, then prevailed against Real Sociedad from Spain (2: 2, 3: 1).
In the round of 16, the East Germans had a bye against Spartak Moscow because of the Russia-Ukraine war.
