Barcelona 'showing interest' in Chelsea midfielder Chukwuemeka

Barcelona are beginning to show a keen interest in signing Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, according to British media outlet talkSPORT.

Barca needs a central midfielder in the summer and Chukwuemeka seems to fit the bill as he can play both as a central or attacking midfielder.

However, the English midfielder lacks experience and hasn't played consistently for Chelsea since his move from Aston Villa in the summer of 2022 for €18m.

Barca could convince Chelsea to offload the player for around that fee considering that he has a contract until the summer of 2028.

Due to injury problems, the 20-year-old has played just 12 games this season scoring two goals and one assist.
