La Liga giants Real Madrid also hold an interest in Nkunku, who has earned an outstanding [7.48 average Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/christopher-nkunku/769333) in the Bundesliga this season – the [fifth highest](https://www.sofascore.com/tournament/football/germany/bundesliga/35) in the German top-flight.

According to a report from [ESPN](https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4593652/man-united-eye-rb-leipzigs-christopher-nkunku-in-summer-transfer-window-sources), Liverpool remain keen on the attack-minded French midfielder.

The report claims that the [six-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-nkunku/nationalmannschaft/spieler/344381/verein_id/9323) France Under 21 ace has ‘attracted the attention’ of the Anfield club with a string of superb displays.

So far this season Nkunku – described as a player with [‘no weaknesses’](https://www.goal.com/en-ug/news/nkunku-has-no-weaknesses-rb-leipzig-boss-marsch-raves-about/19um0vy67scg71rg5mvwi3cdmd) by Jesse Marsch – has [scored 19 times and provided 13 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-nkunku/leistungsdaten/spieler/344381) in just 31 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Few signings would excite Liverpool supporters as much as the capture of the Frenchman.

Immensely versatile and already a [serial trophy winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-nkunku/erfolge/spieler/344381) following a spell at Paris Saint-Germain, Nkunku has everything it takes to thrive in a Jurgen Klopp lead side.

Possessing a [wide variety](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/300945/Show/Christopher-Nkunku) of impressive attributes, Liverpool should be at the very front of the queue for the [£49.5million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christopher-nkunku/marktwertverlauf/spieler/344381) ace – especially in light of domestic interest.
