RB Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku has just signed a contract extension with RB Leipzig. The deal will keep him at the Red Bull Arena until 2026.
However, his recent interview has the rumour mills spinning already. This is largely due to the fact, the Frenchman stated that he wants to play for the best football club.
“I want to be a world class footballer. That would be the biggest accomplishment you can work for. It’s a dream, but you should always strive for the highest,” in an interview with Sport Bild RB Leipzig’s Christopher Nkunku mentioned
It goes without saying that becoming a member of one of history’s best clubs makes it simpler to obtain such a prize.
Of them, Real Madrid is one. Nkunku’s contract, which he only renewed at RB Leipzig in June of this year and extends through 2026, according to the Spanish digital newspaper Okdiario, has a 60 million euro release clause. Which will come into effect next summer..
The Florentino Perez-led club hierarchy should keep a careful eye on Nkunku’s progress. Initial discussions with agent Pini Zahavi, with whom Perez has always had a good rapport, are anticipated to take place soon.
Thanks to 35 goals and 20 assists across all competitions, Nkunku excelled the previous season. In a few weeks, in front of a big audience at the World Cup.
