CHELSEA want to sell Carney Chukwuemeka and are not interested in loaning him out, according to reports.
The 20-year-old is part of the club’s “bomb squad” that has been exiled from Enzo Maresca’s plans and are training away from the first-team.
While many of the other axed stars secured loan moves away like Raheem Sterling to Arsenal and Trevoh Chalobah to Crystal Palace, Chukwuemeka remains at Stamford Bridge.
And the midfielder now looks set to be stranded at Chelsea until the January transfer window at least.
Reporter Fabrizio Romano claims the Blues are only keen on selling Chukwuemeka permanently and will not accept loan bids.
The Turkish transfer window does not close until tomorrow and Galatasaray have supposedly been open to signing the player on a short-term deal.

But Romano says there has been “no concrete talks” due to Chelsea’s stance on him.
West Ham were open to signing Chukwuemeka on loan on Deadline Day but instead opted for PSG’s Carlos Soler.
His name was also reportedly brought up in negotiations over Jadon Sancho’s move to Chelsea from Manchester United.
Chukwuemeka joined the Blues from Aston Villa for £20million in 2022.
