Manchester United cannot afford permanent deal for Christopher Nkunku

Manchester United will not be able to sign Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku on a permanent contract in the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth. United are in talks with Premier League rivals Chelsea over a possible swap deal involving Nkunku and Alejandro Garnacho.

Sheth told Sky Sports: “Manchester United have looked into the possibility of a deal for Christopher Nkunku, but there would only be a loan.

“They’ve got no chance of doing a permanent deal for Nkunku. It will cost them too much money.

“But clearly, if United, and it’s a big if, did business with Chelsea for [Alejandro] Garnacho, they’ll already be talking then.

“And it would smooth the way for Nkunku to maybe make a move on loan to Old Trafford.

“But Nkunku is interested in Bayern Munich as well, and they maybe have a player in Mathys Tel that Chelsea could be interested in.”

Nkunku has made 29 appearances for Chelsea so far this season. The forward has scored 13 goals and given four assists in those games.
