Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid have had discussions with the agent of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Christopher Nkunku, according to reports in the French media.
All three teams are said to be pursuing the France Under 21 international, with his representative Pini Zahavi having already been made aware of their interest.
Supporters on Twitter believe Nkunku is a very talented player, after seeing him score a hat-trick against the Citizens last month, but they don’t know where he would fit into Pep Guardiola’s side:
Sign him up, he is so good

It may not be a coincidence that the future of Raheem Sterling is being questioned at the same time as these links about Nkunku have been surfacing.
Sterling has less than two years on his current deal at the Etihad Stadium, and there is speculation that he could leave the Manchester club. Is Nkunku being targeted as a potential replacement? We shall have to wait and see.
