Chelsea would reportedly only consider selling Ben Chilwell this summer for huge money.
Ben Chilwell, who joined the Blues back in 2020, cost the club £50million to sign from Leicester City (Sky Sports).
The left-back has had his fair share of injury problems during over two-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge, but he’s shown huge quality during 77 Chelsea appearances in total.
He earned his 18th international cap at the weekend in England’s win against Ukraine. James Maddison praised Chilwell as “such a threat” after playing alongside him with England.
According to The Sun, Chelsea are going to be under pressure this summer to balance the books and grant several player sales.
It is understood that Graham Potter’s side would demand in excess of £70million to sell Chilwell, who’s a key player within the squad.
The left-back is one of numerous Chelsea players named as valuable assets, but most supporters will hope he’s not one that the club seriously consider offloading.
If he did leave for anything upwards of £70million, it would represent quite a big profit.
When fit, Chilwell should be one of the first names in the Chelsea line-up.
You would have to give it some thought if someone was bold enough to bid £70million-plus for him, but he really should be part of the plans moving forward.
The creative full-back gives the Blues a great balance between attack and defence, something teammate Reece James can do on the opposite side of the pitch.
The Athletic claimed earlier this month that Manchester City have a “genuine interest” in signing Chilwell.’
However, we would love the England international to stay put.
