Carney Chukwuemeka of Chelsea may be the target of a summer bid by Barcelona.

Before moving to Stamford Bridge, Barcelona expressed interest in the player in the summer of 2022.

Though he has only made nine Premier League appearances this season, the England U21 star has struggled to make an impression on Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

According to Talksport, the Spanish powerhouses hope to use his lack of playing time as leverage to convince him to leave Stamford Bridge for Catalonia at the end of the current campaign.

Chukwuemeka, who is qualified to play for Nigeria at the senior level, will have to work hard to establish himself in the team if he joins Xavi’s squad because their midfield is crowded with players like Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Oriol Romeu, Fermín López, and İlkay Gündoğan.

To strengthen the team, especially in attack, where they hope to sign a striker, it is unclear, though, if the Blues will be willing to sell him for the necessary money.
