Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku will remain in Stamford Bridge until at least at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich and Manchester United showed interest in sealing a winter movement for the 27 -year -old, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in June 2023 when he joined RB Leipzig in an agreement of £ 53 million.
However, both clubs have hoped to sign it this month after deciding that Chelsea's demands were too high.
Initially, United had asked about the possibility of a loan agreement.
Nkunku has scored 16 goals in 43 games of the first team for blues, including 13 in 29 under Enzo Maresca this season.

Man Utd Boss Ruben Amorim had been interested in Nkunku, but Chelsea took him out of a movement
However, many of his appearances have been a substitute and only three Premier League matches this term has begun.
Nkunku has fought to evict Nicolas Jackson as Chelsea's main leader, while the remarkable form of Cole Pale has limited his play time in the attack in the center of the field.
Mail Sport has previously reported that Nkunku has been frustrated by its lack of minutes.
It is said that he is determined not to lose his place in the national team of France, for whom he has won 14 limits to date, scoring a goal.
