Chelsea reject Dortmund bid for Carney Chukwuemeka as transfer battle heats up

Carney Chukwuemeka moved from Chelsea to Borussia Dortmund earlier in 2025 on loan, aiming to get more playing time.

The 21-year-old midfielder struggled for opportunities at Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca, so the loan offered a fresh start.

Dortmund had an option to buy him permanently, but that clause expired around the time of the Club World Cup. Now, his future is once again in the air.
