As reported by Daily Mail, Nkunku wanted a change of scenery to regain the spotlight, but Chelsea showed no flexibility in negotiations. In contrast, the London club allowed Joao Felix to move to AC Milan, making it clear that they would only entertain a high offer for the French player.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has admitted that he has been unfair to Christopher Nkunku. According to Maresca, the Frenchman deserves something more at Chelsea. The Italian gaffer made this statement after Nkunku failed to leave Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.
