France forward Christopher Nkunku has signed a pre-contract agreement to move to Chelsea next season, know his release clause Chelsea paid, transfer fee and salary
Todd Boehly has been very busy in the market since ever he took the charge of the Chelsea Football Club. Chelsea was very busy during this summer transfer window, which saw the addition of two forwards, Pierre-Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling joining the Blues from FC Barcelona and Manchester City.
However, Todd Boehly seems to be not satisfied and now wants to add one more striker to Grham Potter’s playing style. In bringing Nkunku to Stamford Bridge, Tod Boehly has paid more than the actual release clause in his contract.

The player has signed a pre-contract agreement and passed a medical, and the club is prepared to pay more than his £52.7m release in order to retain Nkunku’s talents. The French international will reportedly stay in Leipzig till the conclusion of the 2022–2023 campaign, according to the report.
Christopher Nkunku earns £124,000 per week, £6,448,000 per year playing for RB Leipzig as a AM RLC and his net worth is £17,342,520. Christopher Nkunku is 24 years old and was born in France while his current contract expires June 30, 2026. While his transfer fee at Chelsea will be more than 60 million euros, the exact figure or salary isn’t known.
To prevent a bidding war for his services with other teams, Chelsea paid more than his release clause, which doesn’t take effect until the end of the current campaign. In 148 appearances for Leipzig, Nkunku has scored 55 goals and recorded 48 assists, and he keeps getting better. The 23-year-old had risen through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain before joining the Bundesliga team in 2019. The medical was apparently completed in Frankfurt one month ago in preparation for a transfer in 2023. He emphasised that everything was completed in order to relocate to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023.
They might utilise the January transfer window to add players that complement Nkunku, for example. Boehly will be happy with Chelsea’s attempts to secure the acquisition of the 24-year-old forward despite the fact that they have various plans for the upcoming transfer window. It was a bit of sad news for the fans as Christopher Nkunku was ruled out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup due to an injury.
