Sebastian Kehl has expressed confidence that Borussia Dortmund can retain Chelsea loanee Carney Chukwuemeka for the rest of the Club World Cup.
As things stand, Carney Chukwuemeka’s loan from Chelsea to Borussia Dortmund is set to expire at the end of the month.
This means the 21-year-old will be unavailable for the remainder of Dortmund’s FIFA Club World Cup campaign unless an agreement is reached with Chelsea to extend his stay.
While a permanent transfer appears financially out of reach, Dortmund remain hopeful of keeping the midfielder for the rest of the tournament in the United States, with a short-term extension of his loan possible.
“I’m very confident we can make it work,” Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl told reporters on Wednesday.
“We don’t want to get worse. That’s why we’d like to keep him. Chelsea know that too.”
Talks between the two clubs are already underway – not only regarding Chukwuemeka, but also involving winger Jamie Gittens.
“We’re also in discussions about Jamie,” Kehl confirmed.
