What could stop Ben Chilwell leaving Chelsea

Chelsea new manager, Enzo Maresca appears conflicted over the role of Ben Chilwell in his team moving forward, hence reports alleging a possible move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

According to reports, there seems to be an uncertainty in Ben Chilwell’s role in his tactical setup, casting fresh doubts over the 27-year-old’s future at the club when Maresca recently told reporters that he is still trying to find a suitable position for the left-back.

With the England international consistently battling with injuries and form, this adds to further complication to his place in the Chelsea team moving forward.

Mason Mount is the reason I joined Chelsea — Ben Chilwell

Chilwell, who joined Chelsea from Leicester City in 2020 for a hefty £50 million fee, managed only 13 Premier League appearances last season due to injury setbacks. With a weekly wage of £200,000, his high salary and transfer fee pose significant challenges for potential buyers if Chelsea decide to offload him this summer.

However, the Blues are in a tricky spot, needing to balance their books while also adapting to Maresca’s vision, which adds a few hiccups to Chilwell’s reported exit.

With the club continuing its revamp of the squad, fans and pundits alike are left questioning whether Chilwell will stay or become another casualty of Chelsea’s ongoing transformation.
