Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku has set his sights on leaving Enzo Maresca’s Blues and Liverpool are among the suitors to sign the France international, according to Foot Mercato.
Despite being contracted to Chelsea until 2029, there appears to be no way back for Nkunku at Stamford Bridge.
The former Leipzig attacking midfielder has struggled to settle in with the Blues and he is expected to leave the West London side.
Nkunku’s situation has not gone unnoticed in Europe, and most notably in the Premier League.

The 27-year-old is part of a shortlist made by Liverpool to inject fresh blood – and versatile players – into their title-winning squad. The Reds have reportedly already initiated talks with Nkunku’s camp.
Newcastle United are also thought to be interested in Nkunku, with some of their attacking players expected to leave this summer.
The France international is thought to prioritise joining a club that features in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich remain keen in the race to sign the former PSG Academy product as the Rekordmeister are yet to renew Leroy Sané’s contract.
Both Newcastle and Bayern Munich have reportedly been informed of the conditions of the deal to sign Nkunku.
