Chelsea star player has informed the club (Enzo Maresca) that he wants to leave the club this summer to join Bundesliga side
Chelsea is set to kick off their 2025-26 season against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge, but the club’s transfer activity is still in full swing. Despite a busy summer that saw the Blues sign several new players, Chelsea are looking to further trim their squad, with a few more departures expected in the coming days.
The club has already parted ways with several players, including Kepa Arrizabalaga, Djordje Petrovic, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and it seems that Carney Chukwuemeka could be the next to leave Stamford Bridge. According to reports, Chukwuemeka is said to be disappointed with Chelsea’s approach to players and no longer wants to play for the Blues.
The 21-year-old English midfielder has struggled to find opportunities at Chelsea due to the club’s strong midfield, which features talented players like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Cole Palmer. The situation has become even more challenging for Chukwuemeka with the arrivals of Andrey Santos and Dario Essugo this summer, further limiting his chances of breaking into the first team.
Chukwuemeka’s loan stint at Borussia Dortmund last season seemed to provide him with some valuable experience, and it appears that the German club is interested in signing him permanently. In fact, Dortmund was one of the clubs that had registered their interest in the player, and it seems that Chukwuemeka’s experience at the club was a positive one.
Given Chukwuemeka’s apparent discontent with Chelsea and the limited prospects at the club, it seems unlikely that he’ll continue to wear the Blues’ jersey in the future. The player’s desire for regular game time and a fresh start elsewhere might be the driving force behind his decision to leave Stamford Bridge. As the transfer window draws to a close, it will be interesting to see how Chukwuemeka’s situation unfolds and whether he finds a new club that can provide him with the opportunities he craves.
