Chelsea are willing to sell Ben Chilwell for decent offers as they aim to raise funds through player sales this summer.
According to TEAMtalk, Ben Chilwell is in danger of ending his Chelsea career as the club considers a sale of the injury-prone left-back. The Blues are eager to bring new players in many positions and could use the money from the sale of the 27-year-old star to fund new endeavours.
Ben Chilwell on Chelsea’s sale list?
Chelsea is ready to show plenty of ambition and poise in the transfer market as they continue on their quest to bring the best young players from around the world. The Blues have kept track of their transfer policy under the new ownership, and they will keep targeting players with young profiles.
They might have to sell some unwanted players in their squad, as those departures could boost Chelsea’s coffers in the transfer window. One of them could be Ben Chilwell, with the Blues reportedly willing to consider decent offers coming in for the 27-year-old star.
Chilwell still has a contract until 2027, which will certainly give Chelsea a strong base to negotiate with suitors, although they might still need to achieve their asking price. The defender has suffered big injury problems over the last two seasons, and that might play a big role in club’s willingness to pay big for the 27-year-old star.
There has been some reported interest from Manchester United, although they could also target Marc Cucurella, who has usurped Chilwell for Chelsea’s first-choice left-back spot. However, that may need to be concrete, meaning the Blues will still have to attract buyers and convince them to pick the tab on Chilwell.
Who else can Chelsea sell?
While Chilwell is likely to get out of the club this summer, there are many others Chelsea are willing to cash in. Most notably, unwanted striker Romelu Lukaku is high on that list, while there are chances of Conor Gallagher leaving as well.
The deal for the midfielder is still complicated, as he does not want to leave the club. Chelsea might also look at some other fringe stars to rake in the funds through their sales. Those departures will only boost their transfer budget as they continue to buy young in all positions concerned.
