RB Leipzig have put a £100million price tag on star forward ‘s head as they look to price interested clubs out of a deal. Nkunku is one of the hottest properties in Europe after scoring a superb 35 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions last season.
The 24-year-old has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and his former club Paris Saint-Germain.
But as reported by the Independent, the Bundesliga side are aiming to ward off interest by demanding nine figures from any suitors.
The five cap France international is thought to prefer a stay at the Red Bull Arena this season, with Leipzig believed to have convinced him to sign a new contract with a release clause to keep him for one more year.
However, that could mean a long transfer saga next season as plenty of European heavyweights vie for his signature.
The Reds’ interest is expected to end after they agreed an £85m deal for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
However, United missing out on the Uruguayan means they reportedly considered a firm approach for Nkunku.
