U-turn at BVB: this star is suddenly free to leave | OneFootball

After just one year, one star could already be leaving BVB again. If the right offer comes in, Dortmund would apparently be open to talks.

There could still be plenty of movement on the outgoing side at Borussia Dortmund. According to information from Sky, alongside Fabio Silva, Carney Chukwuemeka is also reportedly among the players for whom BVB would be willing to listen if a suitable offer arrives. That comes as something of a surprise, as those in charge had recently still been hoping for the midfielder’s further development.

Managing director Lars Ricken only recently said that Chukwuemeka had “worked very hard” during his vacation. The 22-year-old also took part in the Japan trip on his own initiative. Together with Jobe Bellingham and Silva, he was originally supposed to take the “next step in his development.”

Even so, a departure now no longer seems out of the question. Transfer expert Patrick Berger described Chukwuemeka on Sky Sport as “an outstandingly technical footballer,” while at the same time pointing to his injury problems. The midfielder is also reportedly currently being held back again by minor muscular issues. “If a top offer comes in, BVB would not be averse to it here either,” Berger explained.

BVB open to Carney Chukwuemeka transfer

So far, however, there are reportedly neither any concrete offers on the table nor any interested clubs publicly known. A sale is therefore far from a done deal. Chukwuemeka is also still under a long-term contract in Dortmund until 2030. After a six-month loan from Chelsea FC, Borussia signed the highly talented player permanently in the summer of 2025 for around €20 million.

His time in Dortmund since then, however, has not gone as hoped. Injuries repeatedly prevented Chukwuemeka from establishing himself permanently in the team. Since his arrival, he has started only nine Bundesliga matches and has completed just one full 90-minute game. Overall, he has made 55 competitive appearances for the Black and Yellows so far, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

The strong competition in Dortmund’s midfield is also likely to further complicate his situation. Should a financially attractive offer arrive in the remaining weeks, BVB could therefore agree to a surprise transfer despite Chukwuemeka’s undisputed potential.
