Fabrizio Romano addresses Chelsea's Chukwuemeka transfer links to Galatasaray

Posted : 13 September 2024

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has addressed recent rumors linking Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka, an England youth international of Nigerian descent, with a loan move to Galatasaray ahead of the Turkish transfer window closure.


Romano has dismissed these reports, clarifying that Chelsea is only open to selling the central midfielder outright, rather than allowing him to leave on a temporary loan deal.


Galatasaray, in need of a central midfielder, has also been pursuing Nigeria international Raphael Onyedika, though they have yet to finalize any agreement with Club Brugge for his transfer.


Chukwuemeka's lack of involvement in Chelsea's opening three Premier League games suggests he may not be in new manager Enzo Maresca’s immediate plans for the season.


At just 20 years old, Chukwuemeka currently sits behind players like Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the pecking order, and he has yet to make an appearance this season.


Reports indicate that Galatasaray is keen on securing Chukwuemeka’s signature, making efforts to convince the young midfielder to join their ranks in Istanbul.


However, Romano told CaughtOffside: “Despite the links, I’m not aware of concrete talks with Galatasaray for Chukwuemeka so far. Chelsea has always insisted on a permanent sale rather than a loan.” Chukwuemeka joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in August 2022.
