The alleged courtship of FC Bayern Munich for Christopher Nkunku was a topic on the sidelines of the DFB Cup semifinals.

The boss of RB Leipzig became clear.

Munich/Leipzig – Bastian Schweinsteiger was next to it.

The legend of FC Bayern Munich*.

A man who shaped Säbener Strasse in Munich* for many years.

The message that was spoken next to him went to those Säbeners in the Bavarian capital.

Expressed in the DFB Cup semi-final between RB Leipzig and Union Berlin (2-1), where world champion Schweinsteiger was there as an expert for ARD in the 2006 World Cup stadium.

DFB Cup semifinals: Christopher Nkunku gets a penalty for RB Leipzig

For example, the 37-year-old from Upper Bavaria reported that the “penalty kick was decisive”.

In the 61st minute, striker André Silva converted that penalty to make it 1-1 for the Saxons after Sheraldo Becker had given the capital city the lead (25th).

Finally, experienced Emil Forsberg made the decision in added time (90+2) with his goal.

But another Leipziger had gotten the “decisive penalty” described: Christopher Nkunku.

With his dynamism, the 24-year-old Frenchman cleverly threaded the ball against central defender Paul Jaeckel.

It is one of Nkunku's outstanding strengths: stressing the opposing defender with his explosiveness, literally forcing him to make mistakes.

And so the attacker, who had been in good form for weeks, was once again a key player for RB Leipzig.

Even more: Nkunku plays so well that, according to

Sport Bild

und

Bild

, he should be back in the focus of FC Bayern.

Christopher Nkunku: FC Bayern is interested in goalscorers from RB Leipzig

Will he switch to the German Bundesliga record champions* after this season?

The managing director of the Sachsen, Oliver Mintzlaff, gave this scenario a clear rejection before the DFB Cup semi-final - including a message in the direction of Munich.

"He has made an incredible development, I'm very happy for Christo.

He was also one of the best players in the first half of the season, although it is known that it went very badly for us," said Mintzlaff on ARD: "Under Domenico (

Tedesco, d. Red

.) he ignited the next level again and that will be he'll do it again next season."

Christopher Nkunku is our player again in the coming season.

A clear announcement was followed by the next in the TV interview.

"There are no inquiries and they would also bounce off us," said Mintzlaff when asked about Bayern's possible interest in Konrad Laimer and Nkunku.

"Basically, almost nothing in football is unsaleable, that's true.

But we decided that we want to keep the squad together as best we can.

We feel that this team can do even more and we want to play really good football for a whole season," explained the RBL boss when Schweinsteiger stood next to him: "This also means that we don't make any major changes to the squad.

We are not planning any further major upheaval for next season.”

Mintzlaff took the opportunity again in the live interview and, looking at his goalscorer Nkunku, made it clear: "I've said it before.

And I'll say it again here on ARD: Christopher Nkunku will also be our player in the coming season.”
