Eisenstadt, Österreich - The future of Carney Chukwuemeka near Borussia Dortmund is in the stars! The "Ruhr Nachrichten" report that, despite its initial commitment of the talented midfielder, BVB does not plan with it in the long term. Chukwuemeka, which was loaned by the Premier League club Chelsea, has not yet been able to assert itself properly in Dortmund. In five games, he only collected 62 minutes of play, which tempted those responsible to let the purchase option of 35 million euros stipulated in the loan agreement. This would be a record sum for the association, which has previously signed Ousmane Dembélé for 35 million euros, but Chukwuemeka has not yet shown the potential to justify such a jump.

Despite these difficulties, however, there is still hope for Chukwuemeka, because with the injury to Marcel Sabitzer, his playing time could increase. This could give him the chance to prove himself, especially since Felix Nmecha is injured and he fights for a place in the starting XI. However, he does not play on the offensive position he preferred because he is in direct competition with Julian Brandt. As "90min" reports, BVB may plan to question the purchase option if Chukwuemeka should still convince in the remaining games.

Surprising development or return to Chelsea?

chukwuemeka, who was born in Eisenstadt, has already drawn attention to Aston Villa in the Premier League before Chelsea signed him for 18 million euros. The switch to Dortmund should actually bring him game practice, but remained behind the expectations. The possibility of strengthening the squad near Borussia Dortmund was given with his obligation in the winter transfer window after the club had hardly been active before. Chukwuemeka could help shape the BVB's record transfer history if successful stays. However, whether he can actually take this step depends crucially on his performance in the rest of the season, while Chelsea relies on a high participation in resort if he starts at BVB.
