Chukwuemeka is prioritising a return to Borussia Dortmund, where he spent the second half of last season on loan, despite RB Leipzig having joined the race for his services. Chelsea have put Chukwuemeka up for sale as part of their efforts to streamline the squad and reduce the wage bill. The club is actively looking to offload several players before the September 1 transfer deadline, with Chukwuemeka among those who are not needed in the current squad. While RB Leipzig's interest adds another dimension to the transfer saga, Chukwuemeka's preference remains a move back to Dortmund.
