Fresh talks between Chelsea and Bayern Munich are planned as the two clubs try to reach an agreement for Christopher Nkunku to leave Stamford Bridge. There is still work to do following talks this weekend, and one side would need to budge for a deal to be struck. Chelsea have ruled out a loan, which was Bayern’s preference.

Bayern are in talks to sign Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea but are expected to move for Simons if that deal collapses. Moves to Manchester City or Bayern Munich may be tempting but Simons has his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge, according to ESPN.

Christopher Nkunku's slated move to Bayern Munich is reportedly at risk of falling through as Chelsea want a permanent sale rather than a loan.
