According to TBR Football, Chelsea has extended an offer to Rangers for Carney Chukwuemeka because Enzo Maresca would want to keep Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in January.
On December 3, the online publication stated that the Blues are actively seeking a January transfer for the 21-year-old, with loan and permanent agreements being explored.
The central midfielder, who came to Stamford Bridge for £20 million from Aston Villa in 2022, has been offered a contract by the Gers and Old Firm rivals Celtic.
Since he has no desire in losing summer acquisition Dewsbury-Hall, the Chelsea head coach would prefer to lose the England Under-21s international.
Chukwuemeka is willing to leave Stamford Bridge in the early months of the new year in order to play regular first-team football.

Carney Chukwuemeka was offered by Rangers to Chelsea.
Although the young midfielder was a highly regarded prospect who went through the academies at Northampton and Villa, his senior football career has never quite worked out.
Before negotiating a move to Stamford Bridge, former Light Blues manager Steven Gerrard gave the Englishman most of his starting appearances for the Villans.
Chukwuemeka has only made 31 appearances across all competitions since relocating to West London from the Midlands, and he hasn’t played in the Premier League this season.
The Ibrox management, who stand to gain from having the Chelsea player on their team, has little risk if a loan agreement can be reached.
