Chelsea's forward Christo Nkunku has had a disappointing time at the club since joining for £52m in 2023, featuring in just nine Premier League matches last season. After new signing Liam Delap, Nkunku's position appears more precarious. Coach Maresca indicated Nkunku remains part of the squad but acknowledged that anything could happen during the transfer window, raising doubts about his stay. Meanwhile, Chelsea is shifting focus to other attacking options, such as Mbeumo and Gyokeres, indicating Nkunku may not be viewed as essential moving forward.
Maresca acknowledged that while Nkunku is currently part of the squad, the unpredictability of the transfer window means his future is uncertain.
Despite a hefty price tag and initial promise, Nkunku has struggled at Chelsea, making only nine appearances in the previous season.
The club's management is exploring new forward options like Mbeumo, Gyokeres, and Ekitike, leading to speculation about Nkunku's standing at Chelsea.
With the transfer window open, Maresca emphasized that the situation is dynamic, noting that any player could be subject to transfer.
