But the club’s imminent appointment of Christopher Vivell as manager will no doubt strengthen relations between the two clubs, who remain on good terms after negotiating Werner’s return to Germany in July.
Leipzig are more than willing to let the talented pair leave next summer for the right price, with Boehly prepared to offer on top of Nkunku’s £60m release clause.
While there is nothing to suggest that Chelsea are in any danger of letting both players slip through their fingers, the club need not be reminded how quickly it can happen after missing out on Raphinha and Jules Kounde at Barcelona this summer, a despite agreeing a fee with Leeds United and Sevilla respectively.
And his performances against Carlo Ancelotti’s side will only convince Boehly that it would be better to secure both transfers before the World Cup and perhaps even the winter transfer window opens on January 1 to avoid a repeat.
