Bayern Munich has renewed its interest in signing Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea after failing to secure other targets such as Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams during the summer transfer window. The German champions, who are looking to strengthen their attacking options following Leroy Sané's departure as a free agent, have initiated discussions with Nkunku's agent. Chelsea is expected to demand a permanent transfer for the French forward, who is currently out of favor at the London club. Meanwhile, the New York Red Bulls are engaged in ongoing negotiations with RB Leipzig for forward Timo Werner, who has been informed he is not in Leipzig's plans for the season. Salary expectations remain a point of contention in the talks between Werner and the MLS club.
