Lazio are eager to explore a loan move for Carney Chukwuemeka from Chelsea this month; the midfielder is not needed at Stamford Bridge.
According to Ekrem Konur, Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka emerged as a target for Lazio in the current window. The Italian giants are eager to explore a loan deal for the forgotten star, who does not have a place in Enzo Maresca’s plan in the future.
Carney Chukwuemeka’s future is one of the subjects Chelsea are dealing with this month, as the midfielder could be pushing for an exit. Back when the new season began, the midfielder was a surprising name out of Enzo Maresca’s plans alongside some of the seasoned professionals like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell.
Chukwuemeka was signed from Aston Villa two years ago amid plenty of promise, and he has been decent when called upon. Injuries have taken centre stage during his time at Stamford Bridge. However, this season the thinking from Maresca did surprise many, as the expectation is for the 21-year-old forgotten Chelsea whizkid to leave the club one way or another.
He does have some suitors showing an interest, although Chelsea’s high asking price reported earlier could prove disruptive to carrying out an operation. There’s talk of a potential loan exit this month, with sides like Borussia Dortmund showing interest, while there are some from the Premier League eager to explore an opportunity.
Napoli are also keen on Chukwuemeka, as many other clubs could enter the frame if there were clear indications from Chelsea about the nature of his potential exit. Most clubs are unlikely to spend a big sum on a player who has barely been used this season, meaning a loan move might be on the cards for the 21-year-old forgotten Chelsea whizkid.
Lazio eager to sign Carney Chukwuemeka on loan
Lazio are the latest entrant in the race for Chkuwuemeka, as the Italian giants could potentially offer him a path out of his Chelsea misery. The Rome-based club are eager to bring in viable additions that suit their pocket and improve the quality on the pitch.
Lazio are eager to explore a loan opportunity here, as paying Chelsea’s demands for the 21-year-old forgotten star could be out of the question. The idea of leaving England for Italy would entice Chukwuemeka, particularly if there were guarantees of regular minutes at Lazio.
