Fichajes reports that Carney Chukwuemeka is a prime target for AC Milan in the January transfer window. The Rossoneri are keen on acquiring another Chelsea player who isn’t in their plans, seeing the 20-year-old as a valuable addition to their team.
AC Milan has recently enjoyed success by acquiring players who were considered surplus at other clubs. Their transfer strategy has focused on securing financially viable players seeking a fresh start, with a notable number coming from Chelsea, including Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Christian Pulisic. They are now looking to add Chukwuemeka to this list.
Milan believes Chukwuemeka could enhance their squad and is keen to finalize a move before other competitors get involved. They are considering making a move in January, though it might be structured as a loan with an option to buy rather than a permanent transfer.
Chelsea was somewhat surprised that Chukwuemeka remained with the club despite his strong market reputation. Since his high-profile transfer from Aston Villa, he has struggled with injuries and limited playing time, leading the Blues to consider a departure.
Chukwuemeka was available for transfer and would have left Chelsea if a solid opportunity had arisen. Manchester United and West Ham showed interest, but another club presented a viable offer in the summer. West Ham could still challenge Milan for Chukwuemeka’s signature in January.
His wages might have complicated a summer move, so it’s likely Chelsea might opt for a six-month loan deal to facilitate his departure and potentially increase his value through regular play at a new club.
