Chelsea are reportedly exploring the option of sending Carney Chukwuemeka out on loan until the end of the 2024/25 season, with Borussia Dortmund emerging as a potential destination.
The Bundesliga giants are also interested in securing Renato Veiga from the Blues, but a loan for Chukwuemeka could be a significant move for all parties involved.
The 21-year-old English midfielder has struggled for game time under Enzo Maresca this season, registering just five appearances, four of which came in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Many Chelsea fans on Reddit believe a loan spell could be transformative for Chukwuemeka, allowing him to rebuild his form and increase his market value ahead of a possible summer transfer.
Here’s what some fans had to say:
Sitdownfam123 remarked, “Brilliant deal. A good loan will increase his market value.”
1990three shared similar optimism, saying, “I feel like this could be a massive loan for Carney. I think he can get back up to peak form and really shine at Dortmund. I also think this will help his transfer value for the summer when we figure out things to polish up our squad.”
NotABishop echoed similar sentiments, stating, “Hopefully like Maatsen to show what he can do then we can sell him in the summer. There is a baller in there, he just needs a run of games to show it.”
While many see the move as a step towards a potential summer sale, others argue that Chukwuemeka’s talent could warrant reintegration into Chelsea’s squad.
MysteriousActuary194 strongly advocated for keeping him long-term: “Doubling down that no matter what Maresca thinks we need to keep this guy. If he lights it up with them we should reintegrate him.”
lcOmeth expressed a mix of hope and regret, noting, “Presuming he performs I’ll be sad to see him go in the summer, dude has bags of talent and got injured at the absolute worst time.”
Mallutrash applauded the potential move, saying, “This seems a lot smarter compared to sticking a £40 mil price tag on him and saying ‘trust he he’s worth it’ while negotiating. He needs minutes to show his value. Dortmund is the perfect place for that.”
A loan to Dortmund, a club known for developing young talent, could be pivotal for Chukwuemeka’s growth. Whether it’s to pave the way for a permanent exit or to earn a place back at Chelsea, this move seems to have the backing of the fanbase.
