According to reporter Philipp Hinze, Chelsea has repeatedly proposed to join the deal in Xavi Simmons, but Leipzig has never considered signing Nkunku forever.

Philipp Hinze revealed that Chelsea has repeatedly proposed to join Xavi Simmons' transfer deal, but Leipzig has never seriously considered signing Nkunku in a permanent transfer.

The cost of introducing Nkunku does not meet Leipzig's budget and the team's salary structure. For Leipzig, it is feasible to only rely on loan transactions and pay a proportional salary. Now Nkunku will transfer to Milan permanently.
