Therefore, as soon as the summer transfer market opens on July 1, the club that plays at Old Trafford will look to take the player who has been a sensation in the Bundesliga, for his goalscoring instinct.

The French midfielder arrived at the team coached by Domenico Tedesco in the 2019-2020 season and although it took him 2 seasons to acclimatize to the Bundesliga, right now he is one of the most wanted players by teams from that league and also from teams from other leagues, as we have already seen.

This is the millionaire figure that United put on the table for Nkunku

According to reports in the international press, Manchester United is willing to offer a little more than $64 million to get one of the Bundesliga's biggest stars for the 2022/2023 season.

This may come as a surprise, but if there is one thing RB Leipzig is an expert at, it is finding talented youngsters to polish, and once the player is ready to leave the club, the board always manages to successfully price them in the millions of dollars. 

In this way, the club has established itself as the second-highest earner in German soccer in terms of revenue from the sale of players, a recognition it consolidated in the 2021-2022 season.

And last season they made this characteristic visible after the transaction of 4 players, which filled their coffers with many millions of dollars, thanks to the sales of outstanding players.

These players were Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konaté, Hannes Wolf, and Lazar Samardzic, for whom Leipzig obtained a total of 101,756,875 million dollars in the coffers of the Red Bull GmbH-owned team.

United had to offer the colossal sum for the French midfielder in an attempt to fend off their other suitors as the player is known to have provoked interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, clubs that now seem to have something of a transfer rivalry. 

Will RB Leipzig accept losing one of their stars? 

Most likely yes, since as mentioned before the club is a specialist in polishing young talents and then selling them for huge prices, but they always have other players on their bench with whom they can repeat the scheme. 

Therefore, it is likely that RB Leipzig will manage to successfully sell the player, who in the current Bundesliga managed to score a total of 26 goals and 15 assists, with which he caught the attention of the big teams in Europe.
