Ben Chilwell is Atletico Madrid’s primary aim in order to bolster their defense. In order to hire Conor Gallagher for the summer, Diego Simeone’s team paid almost €40 million. They intend to raid Chelsea once more in an effort to strengthen their defense on the left flank. As per TEAMtalk rumours, Atletico Madrid is keenly interested in Ben Chilwell’s talents, knowing that the Blues will entertain reasonable offers for the left-back.
After joining Chelsea from Leicester City, the 27-year-old English full-back became an important member of the squad. However, he has battled to stay in shape, and since Enzo Maresca arrived, he has fallen in the hierarchy. Things have gotten worse for him in recent years.
Atletico Madrid Keen on Signing Chelsea Left-Back
In January, when the transfer window reopens, Atletico Madrid plans to make a move for Ben Chilwell, a Chelsea outcast. Diego Simeone’s side at Atletico Madrid is reportedly looking to raid Chelsea in order to acquire Ben Chilwell in order to bolster their defense at the beginning of 2025. This information comes from a report published by Fichajes. The Spanish team is looking to make a cheap transfer deal as the English full-back is no longer a key component of Enzo Maresca’s plans.
Despite the fact that his contract expires in the summer of 2027, the Blues made an attempt to cut him during the summer and will remain open to the possibility of a departure when the window reopens in January. Having invaded Chelsea in the summer to recruit Conor Gallagher, Atletico Madrid is now trying to take full advantage of the Chilwell predicament.
