Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff already met in May with the player's agent to discuss a possible signing

Barça has experienced a hot few days in the transfer market, with the signing of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha entering its final stretch. On the other hand, the imminent question of the future of Frenkie de Jong in the Barça team has seen major developments as well, as reported here in SPORT. To add to the mix, yet another name has appeared in FC Barcelona’s list of possible transfers: Carney Chukwemeke.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a journalist who specializes in the soccer market, Barça have rekindled their interest in the young midfielder of Aston Villa, as a viable reinforcement for their midfield. The interest in Chukwemeke is not new, however. Last May, Alemany and Jordi Cruyff met with the representative of the player, who at 18 years of age, is already one of the greatest promises of European soccer.

Austrian by birth, Chukwemeke is an England international and this year has made the leap to the first team of Aston Villa, under the guidance of Steven Gerrard. The young midfielder has played 14 games this year, 12 in the Premier League and two in the EFL Cup.
