Fabrizio Romano emphasized that Chelsea has only considered Carney Chukwuemeka available for a permanent transfer, dismissing loan inquiries from Galatasaray. He explained, "Despite links, I'm not aware of concrete talks with Galatasaray over Chukwuemeka so far. Chelsea always considered Carney only available on a permanent deal, not on loan." Romano expressed uncertainty about any change in management's stance on this matter, indicating that discussions about a loan deal have not progressed.
Romano noted the young talent's limited playing time at Chelsea, stating, "Chukwuemeka looks like an exciting young talent but has struggled to play regularly during his time at Stamford Bridge." He suggested that due to competition in the squad, it might be challenging for Chukwuemeka to secure a spot, which raises questions about his future if his playing situation does not improve.
Reflecting on the fans' perspective, Romano mentioned how some Chelsea supporters are eager to see more of this prospect on the field, saying, "Some CFC fans will surely be keen to see more of the England Under-20 international this season, as he's often looked like someone who can add something to the team when he has been involved." He indicated that loaning out Chukwuemeka could have been a beneficial route for both the player and the club.
Romano conveyed surprise at Chelsea's unwillingness to consider loan options for Chukwuemeka, stating, "It's perhaps a bit of a surprise that Chelsea haven't been willing to consider that option and would rather sell this big prospect permanently instead." He hinted at the potential benefits for Chukwuemeka to gain experience through loan play, but noted the club's clear commitment to a permanent transfer only.
