Chelsea would have rejected loan offers for one of their stars because Enzo Maresca wishes to sell the player of 23 million pounds permanently this summer.
Blues have a large number of players they need to unload this transfer window, especially after spending 210 million pounds sterling over seven signatures so far.
In addition, after having been strongly sentenced to a fine by UEFA for breaking the financial rules, it is reported that the club must raise at least 60 million pounds sterling in order to record its new signatures for the Champions League for next season.
They are well placed to do it with Noni Madueke apparently on the way to Arsenal while Borussia Dortmund wants to re-sign Carney Chukwuemeka after the end of his loan.
To this end, as indicated by Fabrizio RomanoThe club also decided that they would not accept any loan offer for Lesley Ugochukwu, whose time at Stamford Bridge is almost finished.

Ugochukwu signed a seven -year contract when he joined Rennes in 2023 in a transfer of value of just over 23 million pounds sterling.
Mauricio Pochettino chose to slowly integrate the young defensive midfielder into his first team, giving him only 15 appearances and only six departures in his first season.
But with Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to come in the hierarchical order, Maresca lent the last 21 -year campaign in Southampton where he underwent a relegation.
While the saints have avoided becoming the worst team in the history of the Premier League, Ugochukwu has organized decent performances and now arouses the interest of European clubs, including Valence.
Several Premier League teams are also lively, but Chelsea will only accept permanent transfer, although the Prix de la France U21 Star is not known.
BBC Sport Review, however, that if an acceptable offer is not made, it will envisage a loan to a premier league rival and if it does not materialize by the end of the summer, a loan abroad will be sanctioned.
Recently, Maresca explicitly told the Chelsea team that they were free to leave the club if they were not satisfied, saying: “My message to the players and the club is that I just want players who are happy to be with us.
“Those who are not happy, they are free to leave.
