Man Utd may be forced to wait a year for Nkunku transfer as RB Leipzig prepare to TRIPLE his cash and add release clause

MANCHESTER UNITED target Christopher Nkunku is set to be offered an improved contract at RB Leipzig, according to reports.

Nkunku, 24, scored a tremendous volley against Rangers on Thursday night in Leizig's failed quest to reach the Europa League final.

BILD Sport claim that the attacking midfielder "would like to take the next step" this summer.

There appears to have been no official offer for Nkunku but European giants are circling.

Man Utd are not the only ones chasing the youngster as AC Milan and Bayern Munich are showing interest.

His former club Paris Saint-Germain are also set to join the bidding war.

Leipzig's "wish" is to extend Nkunku's contract by a year and triple his salary to £130k-a-week, according to BILD.

With a release clause of approximately £55million, rival teams – including the Red Devils – could monitor the situation for another year.

The France international has stood out this season, scoring an impressive 32 goals this campaign.

Add the 20 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions this season and it is clear to see why a host of clubs are interested in his services.

Leipzig lost the thrilling encounter at Ibrox, despite Nkunku's performance.

Rangers got off to an incredible start when James Tavernier and Glen Kamara put them 2-0 up in under 25 minutes.

But Nkunku's sensational finish unsettled a few nerves in the stadium.

However John Lundstram was on hand to thump home the winner sending Rangers to Seville on May 18.

Leipzig are fifth in the Bundesliga with two games left to play.
