According to German Biography, Dortmund wants to renew Chelsea midfielder Chuk Umeka, and Chelsea tends to sell it directly.
Gettens's transfer to Chelsea for 65 million euros has almost been negotiated and is about to be finalized. Dortmund also communicated with Chelsea in a deal to sell Somara Kulibali to Strasbourg for 7.5 million euros. The contact between Dortmund and Chelsea about midfielder Chuk Umeka will also continue, and it is likely to last for several weeks. At present, rumors of renewing the lease of Chuk Umeka are emerging one after another.
Not long ago, sports director Kyle was able to announce after difficult negotiations that Chuk Umeka's existing loan contract has been extended to the end of the Club World Cup: "We have signed the contract accordingly, and Chuk Umeka will play for Dortmund until the team is eliminated or wins the championship. We are very happy to be able to accomplish this."
Dotter trusts Chuk Umeka and hopes to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him. Dortmund himself is also looking for a creative star for his offensive midfield position next season.
Dollar senior executives have already started a dialogue with Chelsea. It is reported that this game will not be accelerated at the moment.
Chuk Umeka is worth 18 million euros. It is not realistic for Dortmund to buy him directly until 2028, although the club has earned up to 45 million euros from the Club World Cup. Dortmund hopes to push for the loan again, with subsequent buyout terms, but it is expected to be carried out later in the summer window. The current planning is still in a very early stage.
Chuk Umeka has played 16 official games for Dortmund so far, scoring 1 goal and instigating multiple attacks. Head coach Kovac appreciates his potential, but since joining the winter window loan, his physical fitness problem must be solved first. Chuk Umeka is considered very susceptible to injury.
It is reported that Chelsea prefers to sell Chuk Umeka and will not include him in the plan next season. Dortmund had already invalidated the previous buyout clause of up to 35 million euros before the Club World Cup.
Chuk Umeka and Dortmund still have to go through many complicated negotiation steps.
