“Time to say Goodbye” – 21-years-old Chelsea star accept Serie A club deal after Enzo Maresca denies him playing time at Chelsea
After acquiring players like Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Stamford Bridge, Italian powerhouse AC Milan may be set to sign another player from Chelsea.
Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were both acquired from Chelsea by AC Milan last year, and the former has since become as one of their most important players.
Chukwuemeka, a midfielder for Chelsea, is now being courted by the Italian team to join the Rossoneri during the winter transfer window.
This season, the former Aston Villa midfielder, who was a key member of Chelsea’s first team squad under Pochettino last season, has had difficulty finding playing time.
Since he likes powerhouses like Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, and Lavia as first team midfielders, Chelsea’s new boss Maresca has actually not utilized him once in the English Premier League this season.
According to Calciomercato, the 21-year-old has already agreed to join Milan, so it now appears that he will be leaving in January.
According to Calciomercato, Milan wants to recruit Chukwuemeka on loan with a buyout option, despite the fact that his contract is said to contain a £40 million release clause.
Celtic, the Scottish champions, are reportedly in the lead to sign the former Aston Villa star and are also interested in him.
Chukwuemeka simply needs to find a new team for the second half of the season, whether it’s Milan or Celtic.
He will not be joining Chelsea’s offense or midfield at this time. It is a little unfortunate since, at 21, Chukwuemeka is a really talented football player, but it only serves to highlight how amazing this Chelsea team is.
