Transfer market turmoil is back: Bayern wants to poach Chelsea s two key players

We look at the transfer market. Sometimes one club will launch a concentrated "offensive" against the players of another club in a very targeted manner. Recently, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have turned their attention to two players in Chelsea - attacker Christopher Nkunku and full-back Marlo Gustow. Although these two potential transactions are still in the rumor stage, the logic and feasibility behind them are very worthy of our analysis.

Let's first look at Enkunku. Bayern is interested in him, which is a very logical choice. First of all, Nkunku himself has not had a particularly smooth life in these two seasons at Chelsea. There are injuries and tactical adaptation problems, and he has never fully demonstrated his top-notch state when he was in the Bundesliga, Leipzig. And now, with Chelsea introducing new players like Joao Pedro and Drapp on the front line, the competition within the team has become more intense. In this case, it is normal for the player to think of leaving. For Nkunku, returning to the Bundesliga stadium that he is most familiar with and once shining may be a very good choice for him to restart his career. For Chelsea, if it can sell a high-paid and not the absolute main player for a good price of around 50 million pounds, it will be a good deal in business.

Let's look at Marlo Gustow again. Bayern's interest in him is even more surprising, and the difficulty of operation is much greater. The situation is completely different from Nkunku, Gusto's performance last season, especially in the Club World Cup final, can be said to be very outstanding. He has proved that he is a very reliable choice for the team's right-back position. Moreover, his contract will not expire until 2030, which is very long. This means that Chelsea Club is in an absolutely proactive and very strong position in his transfer. They have no reason to sell Gustow, both at the competitive level and at the financial level.

So, we can judge that Bayern's "question of price" on Gustok is more of a temptation. They may be trying to use their appeal as a top giant to see if there is any possibility of completing this deal. But unless they can offer a sky-high price that Chelsea can't refuse, the deal will be difficult to succeed.

In short, Bayern's "double-line attack" against these two players is actually two completely different situations. There are certain realistic possibilities for Nkunku's transfer, which may be a good result for all parties. Gustto's transfer is still more in the rumor stage. The final result will very much test the determination of Bayern management and Chelsea's consideration of its team's future plan.
