Press reports revealed, today, Saturday, that Barcelona Club is interested in contracting with Chelsea midfielder, Carney Chukwuemeka.

"Sport" newspaper said: "Hansi Flick is satisfied with the performance of his players during the preparatory period, especially Marc Casado and Marc Bernal, however, the club intends to sign another midfielder.

According to the newspaper, "Barcelona officials contacted Bacary Chukwuemeka, the young Chelsea midfielder, aged 20, to find out his seriousness in joining the team, and if Flick changes his mind in the last weeks of the market, he will be the priority.".

The newspaper explained that "the English player is waiting for more contacts from Barcelona. The deal does not seem unlikely, but it is not impossible given that his place in the Chelsea squad is not guaranteed under coach Enzo Maresca.".

It is noteworthy that Barcelona were already interested in signing the player before his move to Chelsea, as the Blues were able to sign him from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022 for 18 million euros.
