Revealed: Chelsea transfer talks with Euro giants "progressing quickly" as fee lowered to 25m
Briefly

Negotiations are progressing quickly between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund for Carney Chukwuemeka. Chelsea reduced their asking price to £25 million for a permanent sale, but Dortmund prefers a loan agreement. They have rejected the idea of a permanent transfer, focusing instead on a loan with a purchase obligation after a set number of appearances. Chukwuemeka expresses a strong desire to return to Dortmund after his previous loan, which has maintained discussions actively. Both clubs aim to finalize the agreement soon before the new season begins.
Both clubs are now working on a new formula for the transfer. Chelsea had originally pushed for a permanent sale, lowering their asking price to 25m to encourage a deal.
Dortmund have remained firm in their stance, rejecting any permanent transfer at this stage as they only want to sign Chukwuemeka on loan again after his spell in Germany last season.
Talks are now progressing quickly, having now shifted towards a loan move, potentially with a purchase obligation triggered after a reasonable number of appearances.
Chukwuemeka is keen to continue working with manager Niko Kovac. The player's desire to return has helped keep discussions over this deal alive.
