Juventus have approached Chelsea about signing midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka , with the Blues still insisting on a permanent deal according to Ben Jacobs.
Chukwuemeka is one of a number of players Chelsea are looking to sell before the end of the transfer window, but they are yet to receive a suitable offer.
The Blues have sent a clear message to suitors they won’t be accepting loan deals for Chuwkuemeka, and the 21-year-old is said to be disappointed in how Chelsea deal with players.
Chukwuemeka spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, and has made it clear he wants to return to the Bundesliga outfit.
Chelsea rejected Dortmund’s offer of a loan with an obligation to buy, with the bid described as “insulting,” and it remains to be seen if they return with another offer for the 21-year-old.

It’s been reportedthree clubs as well as a Dortmund are interested in Chukwuemeka, and Jacobs has revealed a new club have made an approach.
He took to X.com and said:
“Exclusive: Juventus have approached Chelsea about signing Carney Chukwuemeka.
“Chelsea continue to insist on a permanent transfer. Dortmund have already had multiple offers rejected.”
Chukwuemeka joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in a deal worth £20m in 2022, but injuries have plagued his time at Stamford Bridge, and he’s made just 32 appearances for the Blues.
Whilst Chelsea are still looking to find a club for Chukwuemeka, they agreed a deal to sell Renato Veiga to Villarreal on Wednesday.

Villarreal agreed a total package with Chelsea worth €29.5m, and the Blues have a sell on clause of up to 40%, which they will benefit from down the line.
It’s a great deal for Chelsea which has seen them more than double their money on a player, who only joined the club 12 months ago.
