According to reporter Ben Jacobs, Dortmund is willing to renew Chelsea midfielder Chuk Umeka.

Chelsea midfielder Chuk Umeka joined Dortmund on loan this winter window, and his loan contract ended with Dortmund being eliminated in the Club World Cup. Chelsea's estimate of Chuk Umeka is 40 million pounds, the same amount as his termination amount. It will be difficult for Dortmund to sign him permanently unless the asking price drops.

It is understood that Dortmund is willing to rent again, which may come with a buyout clause or a forced buyout clause, and discussions about whether Chuk Umeka will continue to stay in the team began in May. After entering the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, Dortmund will receive a prize of about 38 million pounds, which is almost the same as the amount required to sign Chuk Umeka forever and exceed their budget before the Club World Cup.

It is worth mentioning that Dortmund and Chelsea have a good relationship. The two clubs completed the deal for Gittens this summer. The winger joined Chelsea for 52 million pounds, and the two sides signed a contract for 7 years.
