Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has been linked with a move away from the West London club in recent months.
According to a report from Football Insider, Chelsea are prepared to cash in on Carney Chukwuemeka permanently, but they will turn down any loan offer for him.
The 20-year-old has fallen out of favour at the club, and he needs to leave the club to play regularly. He has been linked with Italian outfit AC Milan in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see if the Rossoneri are prepared to provide him with an exit route in the coming months. He has the potential to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance.
AC Milan have previously benefited from signing fringe players from Chelsea, and Fikayo Tomori has developed into a key defender for them. They will certainly hope that Chukwuemeka can follow in his footsteps if he joins the club in January.
The 20-year-old is highly rated in England, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. Regular football in Italy could bring out the best in him and accelerate his development. AC Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world and they have a proven track record of nurturing young players. They could help the Chelsea midfielder improve further.
Chukwuemeka needs to find a new club
It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to come forward with a permanent offer to sign him in the coming months. Loaning him out does not make any sense for the player or Chelsea. Therefore, it is understandable why Chelsea are not keen on a temporary move.
The out-of-favour midfielder does not have a future at the West London club, and he will look to sort out his long term future as well. Leaving the club permanently would be ideal for the Englishman, and he would get to focus on his football after sorting out his long term future.
A permanent sale would be the right decision for all parties, and Chelsea will certainly hope they can find a suitable destination for him where he can continue his development with regular first-team action.
