Following Ipswich Town’s January coup, Chelsea approves the sale of the attacker…
Ipswich Town has made an approach to Chelsea, who are willing to sell Carney Chukwuemeka in January. TEAMtalk can provide an estimate of the likely cost of a transfer. The Blues are currently in third place in the Premier League standings after a strong start to the season. Enzo Maresca and company, however, are eager to build on their quick start by adding more players in the next winter transfer window.
At the moment, Chelsea is trying to bolster their defense with a central defender. The club is prepared to let go of a number of players who have seen their value to the team decline under Maresca in order to make such a move. Carney Chukwuemeka is one of those players, and according to sources, Ipswich Town is eager to acquire the offensive midfielder to their roster. Ipswich is aware that a deal may be possible since Chelsea sees the 21-year-old, who is rarely utilized, as a sellable asset.

Ipswich Town has made an approach to Chelsea, who are willing to sell Carney Chukwuemeka in January. TEAMtalk can provide an estimate of the likely cost of a transfer. The Blues are currently in third place in the Premier League standings after a strong start to the season. Enzo Maresca and company, however, are eager to build on their quick start by adding more players in the next winter transfer window.
However, Ipswich is in a good position to close a deal for the time being because they have already started the process of making a move by making an approach. Chukwuemeka, who has a contract with Stamford Bridge through 2028, was the target of Chelsea’s high demands of about £40 million during the previous summer transfer window. That is around twice as much as Chelsea spent in 2022 to acquire Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa. However, according to sources, a transaction that is significantly less expensive than the £40 million aim could be reached in January. Chelsea’s resolve to remove Chukwuemeka from the books in order to assist pay for their own signings is largely to blame for that.
Chelsea wants to sell players to stay within PSR rules, and they are keeping an eye on players like Antonio Silva at Benfica.
In other news, it has been said that Christopher Nkunku would be “mad” to switch from Chelsea to Manchester United. Talk of a January transfer to Old Trafford is gaining traction, and Nkunku is unhappy with his playing time under Maresca. Tomas Araujo, a defender for Benfica who has emerged as a vital member of Chelsea’s squad this season, is being strongly linked to a move.
More high-profile exits at Stamford Bridge may provide the funds for any deal for the center-half, and according to a source on Tuesday, the Blues are also open to the departure of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has similarly struggled to get Premier League minutes. The former Leicester midfielder is being linked to a loan-to-buy deal with Aston Villa.
Maresca didn’t hide the fact that it was decided that Chilwell would be better off leaving Chelsea in the summer. But the left-back refused to give up and was added back to the starting lineup in the middle of September, making his return in a Carabao Cup victory over Barrow. However, it is still his sole first-team appearance of the season. Chukwuemeka Carney Similar to Chilwell, Maresca said in public that he would have wanted Chukwuemeka to depart in the summer, specifically because of competition for his job. Chukwuemeka has only made two Conference League matches and one League Cup appearance so far.
