There could be at least one major exit at Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

This month could actually see a big departure at Stamford Bridge as Christopher Nkunku continues to be linked with a move to Bayern Munich.

Chelsea have already laid out their demands to Bayern as the German club look to sign the forward during this transfer window.

However, if they fail in January, it looks like Bayern could try and land Nkunku at the end of the season.

Christopher Nkunku could join Bayern Munich in the summer

Nkunku will be keen on joining Bayern this month as the Bundesliga outfit work on a deal to sign him.

Under Enzo Maresca, the 27-year-old has only been able to make three starts in the Premier League this term.

If Nkunku does not get his move to the Allianz Arena now, though, there is a possibility that he could still join Vincent Kompany’s side in the summer.

According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, while Bayern remain “in contact” with Chelsea and super agent Pini Zahavi pushes for a transfer this month, Nkunku will still be an option for the German giants after the current campaign ends if he does not join them now.

ESPN pundit Julien Laurens does not think Nkunku should join Bayern, believing that he would be swapping one bench for another.

Christopher Nkunku has proven to be an expensive failure

It is disappointing the way Nkunku’s Chelsea career has panned out. He arrived in west London as one of the deadliest forwards in Europe.

In his final season at RB Leipzig, the Frenchman scored 23 goals in 36 appearances, while in the campaign before that, he managed 35 in 52.

Unfortunately, largely because of injuries, the France international has just not been able to replicate that kind of form at Chelsea.

Nkunku cost the Blues £52m and is earning £195,000 a week. Ultimately, Nkunku has been a very expensive acquisition that has just not worked out.
