La Liga giants Barcelona have been offered up the chance to bring in a member of the attacking ranks at Premier League outfit Chelsea.
That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Christopher Nkunku as the player in question.
Versatile frontman Nkunku, for his part, is understood to have set his sights on a move away from Stamford Bridge in the near future.
Struggling to establish himself as a starter under Enzo Maresca, the Frenchman is seeking out a new challenge, be it next summer or potentially as soon as January.
And, amid as much, the name of the aforementioned Barcelona have quickly come to the fore.
As per a report from Sport:
‘Nkunku’s name has been offered by his agent, Pini Zahavi, who has good relations with the Blaugrana club, and would be in a position to adjust his salary if necessary.’
Deco and the Barcelona brass, for the time being, have made clear that a January deal is not an option, owing chiefly to the ongoing financial problems at the Camp Nou.
Beyond as much, though, the former RB Leipzig man could become a realistic target in the summer, in the case of other more high-profile targets proving too pricey.
