Aston Villa is also in the running to sign Christopher Nkunku and wants to offer a permanent transfer.

Fabrizio Romano reveals that Aston Villa has contacted Chelsea to try to sign Christopher Nkunku in the last week of the transfer window. Aston Villa has been informed of the conditions of a transfer by Chelsea.

Aston Villa is among the clubs interested in Christopher Nkunku. His agent has engaged in discussions with them as part of the player's search for a new club. Nkunku, who transferred to Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52 million, has found it challenging to secure a regular starting role at Stamford Bridge, which has led to his desire to leave this summer. His agent has contacted several clubs in England, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Tottenham, in addition to Aston Villa. Chelsea is eager to recover as much of their initial investment as possible, although this may prove difficult. While Nkunku is open to remaining in London, a transfer to Aston Villa is still a possibility as the club considers options to enhance their squad.
