Christopher Nkunku has reportedly snubbed interest from both Manchester United and Newcastle United in favour of a return to RB Leipzig, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats).
The forward, who left Leipzig for Chelsea, is said to have preferred going back to the Bundesliga club rather than making a fresh move in the Premier League. Neither United nor Newcastle have commented publicly on the reported approach, and further details on the terms of any Leipzig deal have not been disclosed.
If accurate, the decision would represent a notable setback for both English clubs, who had been credited with tracking Nkunku amid ongoing efforts to strengthen their attacking options. Leipzig, meanwhile, would be reclaiming a player who enjoyed considerable success at the club before his switch to Chelsea.
