If £76 million deal approve, Chelsea is ready to sell Nkunku this January
Chelsea’s Potential £76 Million Swoop for Kolo Muani Could Signal Nkunku’s Exit
Chelsea is reportedly eyeing a bold January move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani. The French forward joined PSG last summer from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth €75m (£64.2m) plus €15m (£12.2m) in add-ons. However, his limited game time under Luis Enrique this season has cast doubts on his future at the club.

According to Foot Mercato, Chelsea is preparing to approach PSG in the coming days to discuss a potential transfer for the 26-year-old. Kolo Muani has struggled for opportunities this season, starting just two games across all competitions and missing out on PSG’s last three matchday squads.
PSG boss Luis Enrique recently hinted at the situation, saying:
“I could speak about it but I won’t because my decisions say it all, even if, as I’ve said, all of my decisions can be changed.”
Chelsea is reportedly attracted to Kolo Muani’s versatility, with the forward capable of playing across multiple attacking roles. This adaptability could provide a much-needed boost to the Blues’ frontline, especially as they navigate the absence of Mykhailo Mudryk, who is provisionally suspended due to a failed drugs test.
Nkunku’s Future in Doubt
Should Chelsea succeed in signing Kolo Muani, it may come at the cost of Christopher Nkunku’s future at Stamford Bridge. The French forward, who joined the Blues last summer, has reportedly drawn interest from Barcelona. Nkunku is believed to be growing frustrated with his limited Premier League appearances, sparking speculation about a potential January exit.
Intense Competition for Kolo Muani
Chelsea is not the only club interested in Kolo Muani. Several European heavyweights, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, RB Leipzig, Galatasaray, and AC Milan, are all reportedly keen on the forward. Arsenal is said to have been offered the chance to take Kolo Muani on loan as they address their attacking needs following Bukayo Saka’s long-term injury.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is also monitoring the situation closely. New manager Ruben Amorim is preparing for his first transfer window and is reportedly interested in both Kolo Muani and PSG’s Nuno Mendes.
What This Means for Chelsea Fans
The potential arrival of Kolo Muani could signal a strategic shift for Chelsea under Enzo Maresca’s leadership. However, the possibility of losing Nkunku raises significant questions about the club’s long-term attacking strategy.
As the January transfer window heats up, Chelsea fans will be eagerly awaiting updates, knowing that any moves could have major implications for the rest of the season.
