Manchester United-linked Christopher Nkunku to sign new RB Leipzig contract?

French attacker Christopher Nkunku could reportedly sign a new contract with RB Leipzig.

The 24-year-old has been in impressive form for his Bundesliga side during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 27 goals and registering 17 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.

Manchester United are believed to be keen to sign the France international during this summer's transfer window, while Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with his services.

According to Bild, Leipzig have a strategy to keep hold of the in-demand attacker until the summer of 2023.

The report claims that the German club want to sign Nkunku to a new contract which will include a release clause of €60m (£50m) clause for next summer.

Leipzig are believed to be desperate to get one more season out of the attacker but accept that he will leave eventually, as a number of major European clubs are interested in his signature.

Nkunku's potential new deal would allegedly see him double his wages to €7m (£5.9m) a year.
