Real Madrid are expected to hijack Chelsea target Christopher Nkunku in the summer as the club likes him.
Real Madrid is in second place in the league going into the early mid-season break, and they are in dire need of improving their team.
Jorge Picon asserts that the team is keeping an eye on forwards at the upcoming FIFA World Cup as part of their plans to bolster the team. It appears the team is eager to sign a new frontman who can enhance the current group of attackers.
The sports department at Real Madrid has long been aware of market trends. However, they have not discovered anything definitive on the market, so they are focusing on the World Cup.
Christopher Nkunku is one of the players Real Madrid is keeping an eye on. The Frenchman, a standout performer at RB Leipzig, has enjoyed a quick ascent to fame over the past 18 months. He is anticipated to play a significant role for his country at the World Cup as well.
Nkunku’s performances for Leipzig, where he has 64 goals and 51 assists, have caught the attention of Real Madrid, who see him as the ideal attacking partner for players like Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
Nkunku is reportedly already in advanced negotiations with Chelsea regarding a potential transfer to Stamford Bridge, according to the report. And the Blues are probably going to complete the signing of the Leipzig superstar barring any unexpected developments.
