RB Leipzig remain the favorites to sign Christopher Nkunku, with the Chelsea forward now keen on returning to Germany after assessing the proposals available to him.
Softfootball understands that Nkunku has identified a return to Leipzig as his preferred option, with the Bundesliga club continuing to push for an agreement.
Negotiations are still ongoing between RB Leipzig and AC Milan over the conditions of a potential loan deal, but Leipzig remain firmly in the race and are working to make the move happen.
Leipzig have already presented a loan proposal for Nkunku and are keen to bring back the player who enjoyed some of the best football of his career during his previous spell at the club.
Nkunku’s preference could now prove decisive as the interested clubs work on the final conditions of his departure from Milan.
With negotiations continuing, Leipzig remain in pole position as Nkunku’s future enters a crucial stage before the transfer window closes.
