Bayer Leverkusen showed concrete interest in Christopher Nkunku and made an offer to FC Chelsea. However, they could not convince Chelsea and have withdrawn from the negotiations due to the high price.

Bayer Leverkusen has expressed interest in acquiring Christopher Nkunku, who is looking to depart Chelsea because of his limited playing time. Nkunku, who transitioned to Chelsea from RB Leipzig in 2023 for a transfer fee of £52 million, has found it challenging to secure a consistent starting role at Stamford Bridge. His intention to leave has sparked interest from several prominent clubs, including Arsenal and Barcelona, in addition to his former club RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen. Despite being content in London, a potential move to Arsenal or Tottenham is appealing to him, but Bayer Leverkusen remains a viable option due to their high regard for the player.
