Nkunku and Maresca are not in a harmonious relationship, and the coach sometimes lets players play No. 6 in training

French media "Team News" published an article discussing the situation of Chelsea striker Nkunku in the team, saying that the players and coaches are not getting along well and tend to leave the team.

reported that Nkunku's future at Chelsea is full of uncertainty. Nkunku, who joined the 60 million Euro transfer in 2023, should have become the team's key striker, but his performance failed to meet expectations due to injuries and frequent position changes in the past two seasons. Although he has scored 15 goals in various competitions in the past season, he has only won 3 goals in the Premier League and can only be regarded as the second or third striker in the team. 27-year-old Nkunku is also well aware of the tight time and is working hard to perform in the Club World Cup. However, with the new forward player joining and Maresca preferring Jackson, it is still unknown whether Nkunku can have his own place.

Nkunku's relationship with his coach is not always so harmonious. Sometimes, Maresca will let the player play No. 6 in training, which may be a test for him, but it can be seen that Maresca has never regarded Nkunku as a suitable candidate for No. 9 in his tactical system. This winter window, Nkunku decided to leave Chelsea, and Bayern had expressed interest in him. Recently, the player still believes that he will not continue to stay in London in the future. He knows that he is not the first choice for Chelsea's forward line and leaving the team is inevitable, but where he will be unknown.

Nkunku's transfer fee is expected to cost between 35 million and 40 million euros. He is interested in many clubs including Arsenal, Bayern, Manchester United and Liverpool, but there is no substantial progress at the moment. Manchester United has had initial contact with Inter in recent weeks, but no further action has been taken. Although Bayern keeps paying attention, there are other priority candidates. Liverpool chose Nunez to give up Nkunku in 2022, and it remains to be seen whether it will reconsider this summer. How players will have to be further determined in the future development of the transfer market. If Nkunku wants to participate in next year's World Cup, he must make careful choices.
