Borussia Dortmund are ready to accelerate their chase for Carney Chukwuemeka with face-to-face negotiations scheduled with Chelsea this Friday – www.isagoal.com reports.
Fabrizio Romano revealed that the German side want to wrap up a deal for the 21-year-old midfielder while also tracking Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino, though Chukwuemeka remains the priority.
Chelsea have made it clear they will not entertain another loan move, insisting only on a permanent transfer.
Dortmund are prepared to meet those demands with a €20 million package that includes add-ons and a sell-on clause.
Chukwuemeka’s time at Stamford Bridge has been hampered by injuries and stiff competition, preventing him from gaining regular Premier League minutes.
The frustration has grown for the England youth international, who feels a fresh start in Germany could reignite his career.
“I just need the chance to play consistently,” Chukwuemeka has said in the past, hinting at his desire for more opportunities.
He previously impressed during a short Bundesliga spell last season, and Dortmund believe he has the qualities to thrive if given a long-term role.
Friday’s meeting could prove decisive as both clubs look to strike an agreement that would send Chukwuemeka back to the Bundesliga.
