German press reports stated that Manchester United aims to sign Chelsea striker Christopher Nicoko in January.

The "Sky Germany" network said that talks took place between the intermediaries on the transfer of Nikko to Manchester United in the winter Mercato.

The source indicated that Chelsea does not intend to abandon the player, but he may study his departure if an offer of 70 million pounds has arrived.

The source noted that Man United is interested in including the player, but he is not ready to pay such a sum to contract with Nikko.

The source concluded that Bayer Munich wanted to include Nonko, but he was unable to reach an agreement on it, and there will be a greater opportunity for Nonko's transfer to Bayern if Matthias Tell agrees to move to Chelsea in a separate deal.
