Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports that AC Milan is considering a move for Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. The Italian giants are looking to bolster their midfield this summer and have identified Chukwuemeka, along with French international Youssouf Fofana, as potential targets.

The Rossoneri have long admired the England youth international and are prepared to make another attempt to secure his signature. They hope to leverage their existing relationship with Chelsea, having successfully signed Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek from the English club last summer.

Chukwuemeka joined Chelsea in the summer of 2022 but has struggled for consistent game time due to injuries and form issues, particularly in the last campaign. He started the season well, scoring in the London derby against West Ham, but injuries limited him to just 12 appearances across all competitions.

With the arrival of Enzo Maresca as Chelsea’s new manager, the future of the 20-year-old remains uncertain. Chelsea’s interest in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who worked with Maresca at Leicester City, suggests they are looking to add another midfielder, potentially further reducing Chukwuemeka’s playing opportunities.
