Man Utd and Arsenal told asking price for Christopher Nkunku as they battle it out for transfer of RB Leipzig star

MANCHESTER UNITED and Arsenal have been told they will need to pay £62.5million for Christopher Nkunku this summer, according to reports.

The RB Leipzig star is enjoying a sensational campaign, drawing attention from around Europe.

Christopher Nkunku has impressed for RB Leipzig this term

Nkunku, 24, has bagged 22 goals in all competitions from an attacking midfield role.

This tally includes a Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City, as well as six strikes in his last six Bundesliga matches.

Man United and the Gunners are among the teams tracking the Paris Saint-Germain academy graduate.

But according to Bild, they will have to pay £62.5m for his services.

Nkunku’s future could also be tied to that of his team-mate Dani Olmo.

The Spaniard, 23, has also impressed this season – with a number of teams including Barcelona eager to snap him up.

RB Leipzig would be unlikely to sell both Nkunku and Olmo this summer.

Man United may pay special interest in the Frenchman, with Ralf Rangnick having signed him in his last act as Leipzig chief.

He made 78 outings for boyhood club PSG before making the switch to Germany.

Nkunku has since played 117 times for the Bundesliga side, scoring 34 goals and laying on 40 assists.
