Barcelona has reportedly turned their attention to Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, as per Mundo Deportivo. Chukwuemeka, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022, has faced injury setbacks during his two-year stint at Stamford Bridge, limiting him to just 26 appearances across all competitions. Despite this, Barcelona sees the 20-year-old as a potential solution to bolster their midfield quality in the upcoming summer transfer window.

With key midfielders like Frenkie de Jong and Pedri grappling with frequent injuries and Oriol Romeu likely to depart, Barcelona is keen on reinforcements. Although Everton’s Amadou Onana remains a primary target, his hefty price tag of £50M has made negotiations challenging. Therefore, Chukwuemeka emerges as an attractive alternative for Barcelona as they seek to revamp their midfield options.

Meanwhile, Chelsea may consider allowing Chukwuemeka’s departure if they receive a suitable offer, opening the door for a potential transfer to the Catalan giants.
