Man United accept Chelsea swap deal proposal involving FOUR Blues player for only Sancho.

Manchester United has made an unexpected move to target another Chelsea player while continuing their pursuit of Raheem Sterling. The Red Devils are eager to bring Sterling on board after Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, informed the winger that he was surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United is now considering making a late bid for Chelsea’s young midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. This potential deal could be finalized before the transfer window closes at 11 pm. Chukwuemeka, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022, featured in 14 Premier League games during his first season but has seen his playing time diminish. This season, he has not been included in any of Chelsea’s matchday squads under Maresca.

While discussions around Sterling’s move to Manchester United are ongoing, there is speculation that he might end up joining Arsenal instead. Despite this, Manchester United is still expected to finalize a deal with Chelsea, with reports suggesting that Jadon Sancho is on the brink of an unexpected transfer to Stamford Bridge. Sancho’s potential move is believed to be separate from the discussions involving Chukwuemeka.

Chukwuemeka is one of several players Chelsea is considering offloading before the summer transfer window shuts. The club is undergoing a significant transformation under Maresca, leading to a reshuffle of the squad. Former professional footballer and pundit Jamie Redknapp has expressed concern for some Chelsea players, implying that they might be struggling to cope with the club’s current changes.
