Chelsea never considered a loan or that kind of solution, but in case of receiving an important proposal, it was a possibility for them to sell the player. This was at the end of June, during a period when there was some confusion with Financial Fair Play (FFP) and clubs trying swap deals around England to make the FFP rules work.

Enzo Maresca continues to try and sell a number of first-team players, including Noni Madueke.

Noni Madueke has been linked with moves away from Chelsea due to the club's strength in numbers continuing to unfold before Deadline Day. However, following his hat-trick performance against Wolves, he has staked his claim to be a major part of Enzo Maresca's plan.

Noni Madueke is being considered by Newcastle as an alternative option. He was not included in the squad against Manchester City due to an excess of players at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.
