Juventus are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, reports from Italy claim, if the Bianconeri are able to sell Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz.

According to what has been reported by the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have identified Chukwuemeka as a strong and realistic option for their midfield.

The English midfielder is also liked by Napoli but it is the Bianconeri are showing the most concrete interest at this time.

Chukwuemeka only signed for Chelsea in 2023 and spent the second-half of last season out on loan with Borussia Dortmund. The midfielder has been removed from the Blues’ official website, effectively closing the door on his time in the English capital.

The 21-year-old is reportedly displeased at how he has been treated by the Premier League club and is ready to start a new adventure elsewhere. Yet, for now the Bianconeri must work on a sale. If not Luiz, then Fabio Miretti, who has been linked with a potential move to Napoli this summer.
