RB Leipzig are braced for 'big offers' from clubs across Europe hoping to sign Christopher Nkunku and Manchester United remain at the front of the queue for his signature - according to reports. Nkunku has emerged as one of the hottest properties in the Bundesliga this season with an eye-catching goals and assists tally.
Nkunku has scored 30 goals and provided 20 assists in all competitions. That form saw him make his debut for France during the March international break - while big clubs such as United and Paris Saint-Germain are on red alert in response to his return.
The 24-year-old actually started his career with PSG before moving to Leipzig for £11.7million in 2019. Juventus also see him as a potential signing for the upcoming summer transfer window.

But! Football Club credit the aforementioned clubs with an interest and that report suggests an asking price must not be set lower than €100million (£83m). However, there is some scope for leeway if potential suitors can wait until 2023 to strike up a deal for the Frenchman.
Elsewhere, highly-rated Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen will not be available for a discount should United follow up their reported interest during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old has scored 16 goals in 28 appearances so far this campaign for Napoli and has been widely linked with a switch to the Premier League.
Arsenal and Saudi-backed Newcastle are among those chasing his signature. However, the Italian publication and newspaper la Repubblica claim United are leading that push as they aim to bolster attacking options after signing Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.
Amid suggestions United are lining up a £84million bid for his services, Italian publication Corriere dello Sport say Napoli will not budge on their valuation. Osimhen touched down in Serie A for €75million from Lille in 2020 and he has played 58 games for the Italian club.
