Transfer activity has accelerated with just a week and a few days remaining in the summer window. Chelsea have been one of the busiest clubs over the past few months, and that trend seems to be continuing going into the final phase as well, with both incomings and outgoings anticipated at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have recently been more focused on departures in order to free up space in the squad and raise funds for further additions. They still want a couple more players before the window closes, thus, they are currently very busy trying to part ways with players. And it looks like one could be heading back to the Bundesliga.
That player is Carney Chukwuemeka. Borussia Dortmund have been keen to re-sign him since his loan stint in the second half of last season.
However, they were initially attempting to persuade Chelsea to send the midfielder on loan again. But the Blues made their stance clear by turning down Dortmund's offers, as they want Chukwuemeka to leave on a permanent basis.
European giants in advanced talks to sign Chelsea player permanently
Chukwuemeka has struggled for playing time at Stamford Bridge since joining from Aston Villa. Juventus, West Ham, RB Leipzig, and Nottingham Forest are all believed to have expressed interest in the player, but he reportedly prefers to return to the Westfalenstadion.
It appears that a deal is getting closer, with transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano posting on X that Borussia Dortmund are now in advanced talks with Chelsea to sign Chukwuemeka permanently. The deal is advancing.
If both teams strike an agreement, Chukwuemeka will likely have a chance to play regular first-team football for Niko Kovac's side. Let's see if a move materialises or not. And for Chelsea, it will be a boost to their future signing ambitions in this window. So, it feels like a win-win-win situation for all the three parties involved.
