It has been speculated that Christopher Nkunku will be judging the big money move next summer after writing fresh terms at the Red Bull Arena.
What did Christopher Nkunku say?
The Frenchman has responded to rumors claiming he will be looking to seal a transfer from RB Leipzig next summer amid ties to his former club PSG. Christopher Nkunku recently signed a contract extension through 2026 at the Red Bull Arena and has now come out to end speculation about his future once and for all. Christopher helped Leipzig claim the DFB-Pokal trophy last season, drawing the attention of the world’s biggest clubs in the process. However, Nkunku is fresh terms with the German club and is fully committed to helping them achieve even greater success.
The French international sent the final message to supporters when he appeared before the media during Leipzig’s pre-season training camp in Austria. Christopher Nkunku said it was a given for him to renew his contract here. Nkunku feels at home in this city and in this club. Christopher still does not see his work here as finished. So the Frenchman is also not thinking about leaving the club next year. According to Christopher Nkunku, they did really well as a team last season, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Christopher wants to continue his success with RB Leipzig.
“The numbers look outstanding”
Paris Saint-Germain let the Frenchman go for just €13m in 2019, which proved to be a bargain for Leipzig as the player has since become one of the best young forwards on the continent. Last season, Christopher Nkunku scored 30 goals and 22 assists in 50 matches in all competitions, showing himself in both domestic and European stadiums, but the player tried to downplay his contribution.
The French international said the numbers looked outstanding, but in the end it was the performance of the team. Christopher Nkunku says that the guys helped him a lot. Without them, Nkunku would not have been able to get any goals or assists. According to the Frenchman, together they are working to make this season even better. And Christopher is convinced they can do something even better.
