Dortmund, Porto, Monaco seek loan for Chelsea's Chukwuemeka

Carney Chukwuemeka, a 21-year-old midfielder for Chelsea, is at the center of a transfer race with interest from multiple clubs including Borussia Dortmund, Porto, AS Monaco, and RC Strasbourg. His lack of playing time under manager Enzo Maresca, with only five appearances this season, has prompted discussions of a loan move to allow him more opportunities for development. Dortmund has made a formal offer for Chukwuemeka, who has previously shown promise but has struggled with injuries and competition for places at Chelsea. Reports indicate that Chelsea may also consider an option to buy as part of any loan agreement. Despite interest from several clubs, Chukwuemeka's future remains uncertain as the transfer window approaches its deadline. His situation reflects Chelsea's broader strategy to offload players not fitting into their long-term plans.
