Leverkusen to rival Bayern in pursuit of Nkunku

Could Leverkusen rival the Bavarian giants for the French attacker?

According to Fußball Transfers information, Christopher Nkunku is one of Bayer Leverkusen’s desired players this summer.

For a considerable period of weeks, it looked like Bayern Munich were the only Bundesliga side interested, but now they face competition.

However, it’s questionable whether the Rhinelanders will make a concrete move for the Blues’ €40-50 million transfer fee.

Meanwhile, the situation is very different for Newcastle United and Inter Milan who can afford to spend more aggressively.

Inter are struggling to get past Atalanta and are unable to complete the transfer of Ademola Lookman, so their focus turns to Nkunku. 

Newcastle could prove to be an additional price driver, and the Magpies are closely monitoring the former RB Leipzig star’s situation.
