Serie A giants AC Milan are keeping a close eye on Chelsea’s young talent, Carney Chukwuemeka, and are contemplating a loan deal for him.
According to Gianlucadimarzio, Milan sees Chukwuemeka as the perfect addition to bolstering their midfield. The 19-year-old is highly regarded for his skill and tactical versatility.
With Paolo Maldini’s departure as the technical director, Milan is preparing for a crucial summer rebuilding phase. Milan secured a top-four finish in Serie A, securing their place in the Champions League for the upcoming season.
Chukwuemeka had limited playing time throughout the season and only received significant minutes towards the end of the campaign when interim manager Frank Lampard had nothing to lose.
Despite this, the young midfielder showcased his talent whenever given the chance and with proper guidance from a skilled manager, he has the potential to become an excellent midfielder.

If Chelsea decides to bring in another midfielder next season, they may consider loaning him out for the entire campaign. The decision could depend on the terms and loan fee offered by AC Milan.
The Blues recognizes that Chukwuemeka is still young and has a lot of room for development. Joining a prestigious club like AC Milan would be beneficial for his growth, provided he receives sufficient playing time.
There is a strong relationship between Chelsea and Milan in the transfer market, as demonstrated by recent moves involving Fikayo Tomori, Olivier Giroud, and Tiemoue Bakayoko (loan).
The future of N’Golo Kante at Chelsea is uncertain, as he appears to be on the verge of a move to Saudi Arabia. Jorginho already left the club in January, while Cesare Casadei has not been given many opportunities with the senior team.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek continues to struggle at the highest level, and there is a possibility that Mateo Kovacic could join Manchester City.
Considering these circumstances, there is a potential opportunity for Chukwuemeka to receive more playing time under Mauricio Pochettino.
However, if the manager believes that the 19-year-old is not yet ready for regular first-team action, it would be better to send him out on loan instead of keeping him on the bench and wasting his talent.
