Christopher Nkunku extends contract at Leipzig to 2026

France forward Christopher Nkunku signed a new two-year contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2026, according to various German reports on Thursday.
Leipzig technical director Christopher Vivell described Nkunku as “one of the best players in the world” after the extension of his contract, which had two more years to go.
The 24-year-old Nkunku won the German Cup with Leipzig last season and scored 20 league goals as he was named Bundesliga player of the season. He also made his debut for France in March and has played all of his country’s six games since then.
Nkunku showed strength in the Bundesliga since signing from Paris Saint-Germain for €13 million in 2019 and has seen his market value rise accordingly.
