considering a move to United as discussions continue with Chelsea regarding a potential exchange deal involving Alejandro Garnacho.
Chelsea and Napoli have both shown interest in signing Garnacho before the transfer window closes, but only Napoli have made an offer, which United rejected.
It is believed that United are holding out for a €65 million (£54.8m) fee for Garnacho, whose agents attended Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Wolves on Monday.
Garnacho reportedly prefers to stay in the Premier League rather than move to Napoli, but Chelsea has yet to reach an agreement with United.
Nkunku has struggled for playing time under Enzo Maresca this season, having started just three Premier League games so far.
The Chelsea forward was signed from RB Leipzig for £52 million in 2023 but has faced knee and hamstring injuries at Stamford Bridge.
United have inquired about Nkunku’s situation, with Bayern Munich also showing interest in the French forward.
According to Sky Germany, Chelsea and United are negotiating both Garnacho and Nkunku deals, and Nkunku is open to moving to Old Trafford this month.
Nkunku has also verbally agreed to join Bayern Munich, but the move is on hold as Mathys Tel refuses to leave.
Earlier this month, Chelsea expressed interest in Tel, who has not secured a regular first-team role this season and has started just two Bundesliga games.
