Borussia Dortmund will not make an effort to sign Carney Chukwuemeka permanently in the summer | OneFootball

Ruhr Nachrichten reports that Borussia Dortmund have decided not to make an effort to sign on-loan midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka permanently.

Despite performing when he featured for Dortmund, bringing the 21-year-old in on loan is viewed as a mistake due to his slow start at the club, due to injuries, and then the €2.4m loan fee to bring him in from Chelsea. die Schwarzgelben will also not look at extending Chukwuemeka’s loan.

The buy option for the midfielder was said to be around €35m.

Instead, Dortmund will focus their attentions elsewhere, with Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham one of their main targets in the summer.

Last week, Dortmund’s head coach and bosses flew to England to meet with Jobe over a move in the summer. The 19-year-old recently won the Championship Young Player of the Year award and helped Sunderland book their place in the Playoff final later this month. The younger Bellingham will cost around €25m.
