Per football.london, the 21-year-old will not be signing for Milan on loan or permanently.
The Premier League giants are prepared for interest in Chukwuemeka when the window opens.
However, he is most likely to go to another English club, either in the Premier League or Championship.
The Blues would want him to develop in the league and to assess whether he can be first-team material in the future.
