"Not even close. The fact is that Man City would like to have him. Currently, we are still very far apart. The transfer of Szoboszlai has secured us financially. We don't need the money. We would prefer Josko to stay. "We are not a club that blocks anything. We are transparent. But we have our ideas and want them to be implemented." Along with the £60m sale of Szoboszlai to Liverpool, Leipzig also banked a further £52m after Christopher Nkunku joined Chelsea. Nkunku was the joint top scorer in the Bundesliga last season, netting 16 goals in 25 appearances and he is "very excited" to challenge himself in the Premier League. "I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea," Nkunku said. Mirror Football is now on Threads! You can follow us here "A big effort was){kind=link}
