Carney Chukwuemeka open to Borussia Dortmund stay, Jamie Gittens swap possible

Chelsea misfit Carney Chukwuemeka is reportedly open to sealing a permanent move to Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Carney Chukwuemeka is happy and content at Borussia Dortmund amid a successful loan stint with the Bundesliga club. The Chelsea misfit is open to sealing a permanent move to Signal Iduna Park in the summer transfer window, with the West London club valuing him at £35 million.

Meanwhile, a swap deal involving Jamie Gittens might be possible, with Chelsea keen on sealing a summer deal for the Borussia Dortmund whizkid. The Bundesliga giants value the Englishman at £35 million. So, the two clubs can execute separate deals, which will help them stay clear of flouting the Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Carney Chukwuemeka and his resurgence

Carney Chukwuemeka has resurrected his stuttering fortunes since joining Borussia Dortmund from Chelsea on loan until the end of the 2024/25 season in the winter transfer window. While the 21-year-old midfielder has not been an undisputed first-choice starter throughout his spell with the Bundesliga outfit, he has won over Niko Kovac with his top-notch performances.

The English midfield prospect has turned out 11 times thus far for the Black and Yellows while chipping in with one goal. Chukwuemeka’s performances have compelled Borussia Dortmund to seek a permanent move in the summer transfer window. The youngster has boosted the German club’s prospects, as he is open to remaining at Signal Iduna Park.

What next?

Recent reports have claimed that Borussia Dortmund may seek another loan deal for Carney Chukwuemeka. However, the latest report refutes that and suggests a permanent move for the Chelsea misfit might be on the cards. Meanwhile, the Blues value the Englishman at £35 million.

However, a swap deal involving Chelsea target Jamie Gittens might be on the cards, with Borussia Dortmund valuing the highly-rated attacker at £35 million. So, Chelsea and Dortmund can execute separate deals worth £35 million that can help them with Financial Fair Play issues.

With Chukwuemeka open to remaining at Signal Iduna Park beyond the summer transfer window, it will not be surprising to see Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund agree to a swap deal in the coming months.
