Levi Colwill set for Mauricio Pochettino talks before deciding Chelsea future

Levi Colwill

Levi Colwill wants to have talks with new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino before considering the next step in his career.

Colwill is the subject of interest from top clubs in England and abroad. This includes Brighton, where he impressed on loan last season. They have already had a £30million ($37.3m) bid rejected by Chelsea earlier this month but are still keen to sign him.

Chelsea insist the player is not for sale, however his current contract expires in 2025. The club, as they showed with Kai Havertz’s £65million transfer to Arsenal this week, will consider selling players if their deals have two years or less to run and do not sign an extension. They don’t want to risk losing them cheaply or as free agents.

Colwill was last offered a new contract in February but it has not, and will not be, accepted because the terms are not considered good enough. There has been no fresh proposals since then.

More negotiations are expected to take place but Colwill will want to meet with Pochettino first to see how much he figures in his plans before considering another extension offer from Chelsea, if one is made.

Competition for places at the back has been reduced slightly with Kalidou Koulibaly being sold to Al Hilal, but there is still Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah to choose from.

Pochettino is also associated with playing a back four, which means only two centre-backs will play. Chelsea are not playing in a European competition either next season, which reduces the opportunities for game time.

Colwill is one of the most highly-rated young English defenders in the game. He trained with the senior England squad before their internationals against Malta and North Macedonia earlier this month. He is currently representing the Under-21s at the European Championships and has already played a part in them qualifying for the knock-out phase.

Colwill’s involvement in the tournament means the timing of a chat with Pochettino is uncertain. The squad leave for a pre-season tour of the USA on July 17.

Brighton could use Chelsea’s desire to sign midfielder Moises Caicedo as part of their pursuit to acquire Colwill, even if it ends up just being a second season on loan.

The Athletic reported a fortnight ago that Brighton value Caicedo at £100million ($128m), but Chelsea will not want to pay as much as that.

I am thinking about a manager who has potential to manage Chelsea, Vieira ain’t that guy.

You can't really say that Vieira ain't that guy when we just had the likes of Potter/Lampard in charge of the club.    They're all the same (as in none of them should be managing a top 8 side).

Kinda disappointed we’ve not got a CM in yet. Really want all key signings to get a proper preseason this time. 

Could a midfield of Reece caicedo and Enzo work? I personally think Reece would be wasted in a 4atb system and has more than enough quality to play in midfield

Reece has potential to be there for sure, but he’s got to prove he’s intelligent enough to play there. I think it would be an interesting possibility with our new RB coming in. Although I love Reece have to remember his injury problems have been pretty relentless so sadly we shouldn’t expect him to be key to our plans until we see he has got past it tho.

I'd really like to see James in the midfield too. He is a monster that can't get bullied, and is clean on the ball.

Not sure if those 3 together work though.

It's just the recycled news stating we've agreed the fixed price of 75m and are working on bonuses.

We will need to if we want to continue the 4231 with 4 attackers. To counter balance one of the wingbacks need to be inverted to help in midfield.

Surely we are not bidding 60m for Vlahovic after the season he’s just had, and their fans can’t wait to get rid of him… never heard of that source so I’ll believe it when someone serious says it.

Tbh ideal with Vlahovic would be a loan with a reasonably punchy option to buy after 1 year (like 75m). Then if we end up spending a bunch of money on him it will be because we are sure he has worked out in PL. Hard to convince Juve on that tho unless we are sending them Lukaku, as they would need money to replace him I guess.
