Chelsea have swiftly dismissed Borussia Dortmund's loan bid for midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, with club sources branding the proposal "disrespectful in its current form." The 20-year-old, deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, has attracted attention from multiple European clubs as the Blues accelerate efforts to streamline their squad.
This rejection comes amid Chelsea's aggressive push to free up roster space and funds for high-profile targets including PSG's Xavi Simons and Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho. The London club reportedly views Dortmund's offer as undervaluing Chukwuemeka despite his limited first-team opportunities last season.
"The bid didn't reflect Carney's potential or market value," an insider told GOAL. "Chelsea are focused on responsible squad restructuring - we won't be rushed into unfavourable deals."
While Dortmund's approach included a purchase option, negotiations stalled over valuation and payment structures. Other Premier League clubs and Serie A sides are now monitoring the England U-20 international's situation as Chelsea aims to finalize sales before pursuing their marquee targets.
