On Monday, Borussia Dortmund confirmed the signing of Carney Chukwuemeka on loan from Chelsea with an option to buy.

According to reports, Chelsea didn't want to include a purchase option in the deal at first.

Reports then emerged of a €48 million purchase option, but Dortmund were eventually able to negotiate the fee down to €35 million, according to reports.

In return, however, they granted Chelsea a hefty sell-on fee, according to Sky Germany. 

Should Dortmund decide to buy and later sell Chukwuemeka, Chelsea would cash in again, taking the total fee from €35 million to more than €40 million, the report claims.
