Ben Chilwell Transfer from Chelsea to Leicester City
Leicester City are interested in re-signing Ben Chilwell, who has been put on the transfer list by Chelsea for £25 million, with a possible acceptance of £20 million.
Leicester City are hoping to land their old boy, Ben Chilwell, during the January transfer window after Chelsea made it clear he was surplus to requirements. Leicester City, who sold him to Chelsea back in 2020, are keeping an eye on the situation. Chilwell's high salary of £200,000 per week is a potential obstacle for the transfer.
Leicester City, now managed by Steve Cooper, have been linked with a move for Ben Chilwell. Chilwell is open to leaving Chelsea and would not rule out a switch to Leicester City, among other interested clubs.
Ben Chilwell, who is currently with Chelsea, is contemplating a departure from the club because of injuries and his diminished role in Enzo Maresca's plans. According to FootballTransfers, he is mulling over a return to Leicester City, where he has been since the age of 12. Leicester City, dealing with defensive issues, is keen on bolstering their defense and has expressed interest in bringing Chilwell on loan. This potential move could be advantageous for both sides, offering Chilwell a chance to restore his form and confidence.
Leicester City, Chilwell's former club, are interested in him, but they currently have full slots for Premier League loans and would need to cancel one to accommodate him on loan in January.
Ben Chilwell is reportedly not included in Enzo Maresca's plans for Chelsea. He has lost his position following Maresca's appointment earlier this year. Leicester City is interested in re-signing the defender, who still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his Chelsea contract. Despite not securing a transfer from London during the summer, indications suggest an early exit from Stamford Bridge is likely. The former England international, who joined Leicester City's youth academy at the age of 12 and moved to Chelsea for £50 million in 2020, is said to be open to the possibility of a transfer due to limited playing opportunities. Leicester City is hopeful about bringing him back, four years after his departure.
