Diego Pablo Simeone has requested Atlético de Madrid to sign Christopher Nkunku, a forward who could become a key piece in the red and white attack. The 27-year-old French attacker has not been able to establish himself as a starter at Chelsea and is seeking an exit to have a more prominent role. Although the player's contract with the "Blues" expires in 2029, his current situation makes him an attractive target for several clubs, with Atlético and Bayern Munich leading the options for his signing in the winter transfer market.

Nkunku, who has showcased his quality by scoring 12 goals and providing 4 assists in just 1090 minutes this season, has been relegated to the role of a substitute in the Premier League, starting only in the Conference League. This lack of prominence in the English league has fueled his desire for a change of scenery.

Simeone wants another attacker in the rotation

Atlético de Madrid sees him as a great option to reinforce their front line, offering Simeone a different profile that could perfectly complement players like Antoine Griezmann, Julián Álvarez, and Alexander Sorloth.

Chelsea, aware of the player's situation, would be willing to negotiate his departure through a loan with an option to buy, a formula that particularly appeals to the colchonero team. This option would allow Atlético to test Nkunku before committing to a permanent purchase, making it an accessible possibility to strengthen the squad in the final stretch of the season, with the ambition to vie for the league title and bolster their offense for the upcoming challenges.
