Bayern Munich are expected to revive their interest in Chelsea attacker Christopher Nkunku who’s als wanted by Manchester United, in line with reports.
Nkunku, signed for £52million from RB Leipzig, has struggled to get regular minutes since his move to Stamford Bridge two years ago.
The Frenchman scored just three goals within the Premier League last season and is about to fall further down the pecking order this summer after the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
Nkunku was the topic of interest within the January transfer window, and the Blues are said to be keen to dump the 27-year-old on a everlasting deal this summer.
Bayern failed to fulfill Chelsea’s attacking price in January, but in line with The Athletic, are expected to reignite their interest within the forward this summer.

Vincent Kompany’s side have been keen to make attacking reinforcements this summer after the departures of Mathys Tel, Leroy Sane and Thomas Muller.
However the German giants failed of their attempts to sign Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams, while their interest in Luis Diaz has been rebuffed by Liverpool.
Chelsea are said to have reduced their asking price for Nkunku this summer and can only demand £35m to let go of the Frenchman.
But Bayern should face competition from United for Nkunku’s signature, with Ruben Amorim still eyeing further attacking reinforcements this summer.
The Red Devils have already signed Matheus Cunha and are closing in on a deal for Bryan Mbeumo, but could search for more attacking signings, particularly if Rasmus Hojlund leaves Old Trafford this summer.
United also explored a move for Nkunku in January and might now reportedly consider a swap deal involving Alejandro Garnacho to land the Chelsea forward.
A bunch of United players are already expected to depart the club and have been given an prolonged break to attempt to finalise moves ahead of their return for pre-season.
Marcus Rashford remains to be pushing for a move to Barcelona, while Antony, Jadon Sancho, Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia are also keen to depart.
