Chelsea are set to kick off their 2025–26 season this weekend against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, there are still a few more deals the club are looking to complete before the transfer window closes. It has been a busy summer for the Blues, as they have signed a number of new players.
On the other hand, Chelsea have also parted ways with many individuals who no longer had a future at Stamford Bridge. On the other hand, some have chosen to leave in search of regular game time elsewhere.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Djordje Petrovic, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have already departed. A few more names are expected to be added to that list soon. Carney Chukwuemeka is among them.
Chelsea are believed to be looking to part with the English midfielder, with a number of clubs having already registered their interest in the player. Chukwuemeka spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, and they are one of the clubs that have emerged as a potential destination for the 21-year-old.
Chukwuemeka being disappointed with Chelsea’s way of dealing with players, wants to leave
As reported by Sport Bild, Chukwuemeka has hinted that he is disappointed with Chelsea's approach to players. Therefore, he no longer wants to play for the Blues.
Chukwuemeka is one of the players who was expected to succeed at Chelsea. However, the emergence of the Blues' strong midfield in recent seasons, featuring players like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Cole Palmer, has resulted in the English youngster getting limited opportunities. Moreover, the Blues have brought Andrey Santos and Dario Essugo into the fold this season.
Chukwuemeka appeared in just five matches last season before being sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund in the second half of the campaign. And it is hard to imagine that we will ever see him pull on the Chelsea jersey again.
