Another team, Valencia, is also considering Ugochukwu for their squad. The defensive midfielder joined Chelsea from Stade Rennes in 2023 for €27 million. Chelsea's financial situation, particularly their concerns with UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, might influence their decision on whether to sell or loan him out.
Chelsea is willing to consider either an outright sale or another loan deal for Ugochukwu. The club's priority is finding the best option that suits their financial situation and the player's development.
