Dortmund's sports director confirmed that the German team wants to buy Chelsea's young Carney Chukwuemeka talent in this summer.
Chelsea is very busy in the summer transfer window 2025 when it spent £ 210 million for 7 new contracts, including Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. There may be many more players docking at the Blues, but in the opposite direction there will be many people who leave. This is what Chelsea had to handle quickly after receiving the warning from UEFA.
Therefore, Chelsea will have to actively sell and try to collect the highest transfer fee possible. At this time, they are preparing to receive large sums from Carney Chikwuemeka. This player moved to Stamford Bridge from Aston Villa 3 years ago with a contract worth about £ 15 million. However, coach Enzo Maresca made it clear that the midfielder was not in his plan. That is why in the 2025 winter transfer window, he was pushed to Dortmund by Chelsea on loan.
He had 17 appearances for the German giant, although only two main kicks and scored a goal. The loan contract between Chukwuemeka and Dortmund has just ended after the German team was eliminated by Real Madrid from the FIFA Club World Cup.
Despite not being able to play regularly during the lending time in Dortmund, the German team still appreciated Chukwuemeka and wanted to buy this player. Dortmund's sports director Sebastian Kehl said: “Carney's loan contract with Dortmund has ended, but we are agreeing with Chelsea for a potential transfer.
Now, let's see. We will definitely have some more discussions in the next few days about the situation of this player. I think that if Carney joined Dortmund, it was a good deal. It will not be easy, but we will definitely try to keep Chukwuemeka because he is a very good player. Everything can happen. ”
Chukwuemeka still has 3 years in contract with Chelsea and the London team will not sell him at a lower price than the contract release fee of £ 40 million.
