Chukwuemeka pushed to fringe by Chelsea as Juventus ready to pounce

Chukwuemeka only signed for Chelsea in 2023 and spent the second-half of last season out on loan with Borussia Dortmund. The midfielder has been removed from the Blues’ official website, effectively closing the door on his time in the English capital.

The 21-year-old is reportedly displeased at how he has been treated by the Premier League club and is ready to start a new adventure elsewhere. Yet, for now the Bianconeri must work on a sale. If not Luiz, then Fabio Miretti, who has been linked with a potential move to Napoli this summer.
