Huge reason to worry for Chelsea as PSG now want star defender

PSG want to sign Chelsea defender Levi Colwill in 2025

Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain have set their sights on talented Chelsea defender, Levi Colwill. The 20-year-old has been garnering attention for his stellar performances at Stamford Bridge. However, Chelsea remain resolute in their stance that he is not for sale, having secured his services with a new six-year contract last summer.

Despite Chelsea’s unwavering stance, PSG, along with Liverpool, are closely monitoring Colwill’s situation. Both clubs are keeping a close eye on developments, anticipating that Chelsea may need to offload more academy players to meet their financial obligations.

Chelsea, under pressure to adhere to Premier League profit and sustainability rules, could potentially part ways with academy talents like Colwill, Conor Gallagher, Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja, and Trevoh Chalobah in the upcoming summer transfer window. These potential sales would provide the club with the necessary funds to reinforce key positions, such as striker, centre-back, and left-back. [Evening Standard]

Levi(s) to the Paris Fashion Week?

Colwill’s significance to Chelsea has been evident throughout the season, with the young defender playing a pivotal role under manager Mauricio Pochettino. Despite interest from other top clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester City, Colwill reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea by signing a contract extension last summer.

Brighton & Hove Albion also expressed interest in Colwill last summer, following a successful loan spell at the club. However, Chelsea rebuffed several approaches, emphasising their determination to retain the promising defender.

PSG’s interest in Colwill is led by sporting director Luis Campos, highlighting their desire to strengthen their defensive options in the future. While Colwill’s immediate future appears secure at Chelsea, the ongoing speculation underscores the high regard in which he is held by top clubs across Europe.

As interested parties keep a close watch on developments, they remain hopeful that Chelsea’s financial constraints, coupled with continued underperformance on the pitch, may present opportunities to acquire promising talents like Levi Colwill. However, for the time being, Chelsea remain steadfast in their determination to retain their prized asset as they continue their pursuit of success in England and potentially, Europe next season.

2029 (Transfermarkt) is when Colwill’s contract at Chelsea comes to an end. Having said that, the potential interest from PSG and other top clubs underscores Levi Colwill’s burgeoning reputation as one of the brightest defensive prospects in European football.
