Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Noni Madueke if a ‘high enough’ bid arrives this summer.
The Englishman has been an integral part of the first team under Enzo Maresca since arriving from PSV in January 2023.
In the recently concluded season, Madueke managed 11 goals and five assists in 43 games in all competitions.
The 22-year-old started Chelsea’s opening Club World Cup game against LAFC, but dropped to their bench for the 3-1 defeat to Flamengo last Friday.
However, with Chelsea on the verge of signing Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, fresh concerns are being raised over Madueke’s long-term future at the club.
According to The Athletic, while Madueke is not up for sale as such, a bid might be listened to if it’s considered high enough.

Another player who is believed to be in the same boat is Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson, following the £30m arrival of Liam Delap.
Madueke may drop down the pecking order if he decides to remain at Chelsea.
Gittens would add another ounce of depth in the wide forward position, with Tyrique George, Neto and Palmer among the others Maresca has at his disposal, meaning that Madueke’s game-time might be limited.
