According to UK media HITC, Ben Chilwell is no longer part of Chelsea’s plans for the new season. The player hopes to transfer to Manchester United, and Manchester United are also very interested in him.
Chilwell joined Chelsea in 2020 on a five-year contract. With Pochettino’s departure, Chilwell is no longer a favorite under new manager Malesic. It is understood that Chilwell has been excluded from the starting lineup, with Cucurella becoming his replacement.
Sources reveal that in fact, before the start of the season, Chilwell was informed that he was unlikely to be part of Malesic’s plans for the new season. Chilwell’s agent is currently exploring future options for him, including clubs in Italy and Spain expressing interest. However, his high salary means he can only join another club on loan.
Nevertheless, the agent has submitted an offer to Manchester United, who have a strong interest in this England international. Under Ten Hag, the first-choice left-back is Luke Shaw, but due to Shaw’s serious injury issues and lack of playing time, Chilwell would be a good replacement. Due to winning the FA Cup last season, Manchester United will be competing in European competitions this season, which is also one of the reasons Chilwell hopes to join.
