Ipswich Town transfer news: Tractors Boys interested in 21-time international?
Since the Italian joined the Blues in the summer, the 27-year-old has been on the periphery of Enzo Maresca’s plans at Stamford Bridge.
Chilwell played in Chelsea’s only competitive game this season, a 5-0 thrashing of Barrow on September 24 in the EFL Cup third round.
Chilwell has made 107 appearances for the Blues since joining from Leicester City in August 2020, scoring nine goals in that time.
In the full-back hierarchy, the 21-time England international is far behind players like Malo Gusto and Euro 2024 champion Marc Cucurella.
Ipswich is interested in the Chilwell trade.
A fresh update regarding Chelsea’s Chilwell’s future has surfaced ahead of the January transfer window, according to journalist Simon Phillips via FootballFanCast.
According to the report, Ipswich, who were promoted last season and are fighting to stay in the Premier League, are interested in the 27-year-old.
Since Chilwell hasn’t played for Chelsea in weeks, it is believed that the Tractor Boys are among the most eager to sign him in the new year.
In addition to Kieran McKenna’s team, Manchester United, Fulham, and Crystal Palace are also showing interest in the Premier League.
The Tractor Boys are hoping to finalize a deal in early 2025, as Chilwell shares an agent with Ipswich talents Liam Delap, Conor Chaplin, and Kalvin Phillips.
Chilwell’s continental competition
In addition to the four Premier League teams mentioned above, Serie A rivals Napoli are rumored to be interested in Chelsea’s Chilwell from Italy.
The Spanish powerhouse Atletico Madrid is also keeping an eye on Chillwell’s condition, so it doesn’t seem likely that the left-back will be a hit at Portman Road come January.
To solidify his place in Thomas Tuchel’s England ambitions for the 2026 World Cup, Chilwell is reportedly anxious to play regularly in the first team once more.
The Tractor Boys, who are expected to fight against relegation until the last day of the season, may make a humble offer to the former Leicester star in exchange for such aspirations.
