SPORTS NEWS; – Ben Chilwell has been rumored to be considering a transfer to Turkey; however, it appears that the Chelsea full-back will remain in England for the time being. According to The Mirror, Chelsea has proposed Chilwell to several prominent clubs in Turkey, but no agreement has been reached thus far.
The report indicates that Chelsea is seeking a resolution for the 27-year-old defender, who has been sidelined from the first team by Enzo Maresca in the previous month. Interest from Premier League clubs has been limited, making the Turkish market Chelsea’s primary opportunity to alleviate Chilwell’s substantial weekly salary of £200,000, especially since their transfer window remains open until September 13.
Despite Chelsea’s attempts to engage clubs such as Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas, and Istanbul Basaksehir, none have expressed a strong desire to pursue a transfer. It remains uncertain whether the situation will evolve before the upcoming deadline.
While Chelsea initially sought permanent transfers in the closing days of the summer window, they are also considering the option of loaning Chilwell, which could provide some financial relief. Brentford is reported to have made a late inquiry regarding the England international, but they did not pursue their interest further.
