“I have a change of mind about this player, I reconsider my approach about him” – Enzo Maresca reveals sudden change on Chelsea star ahead of January transfer
Since Enzo Maresca took over, the 21-year-old has had few first-team appearances, casting doubt on his future at Chelsea.
Despite this, the team still has faith in Chukwuemeka’s skills and sees a loan transfer as a chance for him to develop his confidence and experience.
According to Todo Fichajes, AC Milan has expressed interest in the Chelsea star, offering him the chance for regular playing time and a platform to further develop his talent. A loan stint could help Chukwuemeka demonstrate his potential and return to Chelsea better equipped to compete for a place in the squad.
Chukwuemeka, once seen as a standout talent at Aston Villa, attracted considerable interest before joining Chelsea. Although his time at Stamford Bridge has yet to meet expectations, a successful loan spell could revitalize his career.
Recent reports suggest AC Milan is leading the race to sign him, with Calciomercato indicating that the player is open to a move to the San Siro. Barcelona had also been previously linked, as reported by Simon Phillips, showing significant interest from multiple top clubs.
With stiff competition in Chelsea’s squad, the club’s focus on a loan deal highlights their belief in Chukwuemeka’s long-term potential. The upcoming January transfer window will likely determine his next step, with a temporary move looking increasingly likely.
