Carney Chukwuemeka and the England U19s celebrate their European Championship victory.

Aston Villa and Carney Chukwuemeka were unable to come to terms on a new deal, and the England Under-19 international is now expected to join with Chelsea.

Due to the fact that Chukwuemeka's contract has less than a year left, Villa will profit £20 million from his transfer. Numerous clubs on the continent, including Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, and Spanish powerhouse Barcelona, had been connected to him.

According to reports in Italy, Barcelona had enquired about Chukwuemeka's availability and were actively pursuing his signature, while Milan reportedly refused to meet Villa's demands for the player. When Chelsea announced that an agreement had been struck for Chukwuemeka's permanent move, fans were taken aback, and followers of Barcelona have been saying the same thing on social media.

This summer, Chelsea was unsuccessful in acquiring a number of players it wanted to move to Barcelona, including Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Jules Kounde. Chelsea supporters have responded on Twitter after Chukwuemeka was chosen over Barca for the long term. Voici an example of what was said.

@Eshio125: Let's begin. Barcelona gave us some lessons. Arrangement made covertly; welcome to Chelsea chukwuemeka, Carney.

@insidenaija101: Chelsea currently makes player signings in secret out of fear of Barcelona. Greetings from Chelsea. Chukwuemeka Carney

@ConnCFC: Watch the comps that the Barca fans created for us on YouTube if you don't know anything about Chukwuemeka.

Because of Barcelona, Chelsea didn't want to publicize the Chukwuemeka transaction.

Barcelona would be stunned by the Chukwuemeka trade, as Chelsea discovered the hard way. — @Microbaris20
