Details of Chukwuemeka Proposal
Dortmund are looking to secure Carney Chukwuemeka on a permanent transfer. The German club have tabled a proposal valued at 20 million euros including bonuses for the 21-year-old midfielder, alongside a sell-on clause for any future transfer. Chukwuemeka, who is English, featured for Dortmund during the latter half of last season, having appeared in 17 matches and finding the net on one occasion.

The 20-year-old Argentine centre-back, who arrived at Chelsea from Boca Juniors for 16.5 million euros, has struggled for first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge and has only made a single senior appearance for the club to date.
