Prepare for some football action as Borussia Dortmund clashes with CF Monterrey in the Club World Cup quarterfinals on July 1. The question mark looming over Carney Chukwuemeka's participation is stirring some buzz. The 21-year-old Englishman's temporary stint with FC Chelsea winds down on June 30, but Dortmund's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, remains optimistic.
Kehl expressed faith in securing an extension for the promising offensive player, stating, "I'm very confident we'll make it happen. We don't want to weaken our team, so we'd like to keep him. Chelsea knows that too."
Moukoko on the Brink of Departure
Discussions with Chelsea might also involve Jamie Gittens, the English winger rumored to be on the verge of joining them. However, a transfer failed to materialize before the Club World Cup due to Chelsea's reluctance to meet Dortmund's €60 million askENR1. According to Kehl, negotiations for Gittens are underway, and interest from FC Bayern has also emerged[ENR2].
While Gittens' move to Chelsea seems uncertain, Youssoufa Moukoko appears on the brink of leaving Dortmund for good. The 20-year-old striker, excluded from the U.S. squad, is reportedly on the verge of signing with FC KopenhagenENR3. Kehl confirmed negotiations with Moukoko are in progress, and a formal announcement will be made once the details are ironed outENR4. Moukoko previously had a brief stint with the French Ligue 1 side, OGC Nice, on loan.

The Commission's proposal for a Council Regulation on the conclusion of the Agreement on the European Economic Area could potentially impact the transfer market, as it may affect the financial aspects of transfers between European clubs, such as those involving Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea in the case of Jamie Gittens and Youssoufa Moukoko. Meanwhile, Carney Chukwuemeka's loan extension at Borussia Dortmund seems promising, allowing him to potentially participate in the Champions League and other European leagues next season.
