Chelsea and Bayern Munich have opened talks over a potential transfer for forward Christopher Nkunku, journalist Florian Plettenberg reports.
According to the report, the clubs are in direct contact. Nkunku is reportedly interested in returning to the Bundesliga, while Chelsea say they will only let him go on a permanent transfer. Bayern, however, are considering a loan deal.
