Chelsea Considers Chilwell Sale as Maresca Shapes Squad
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly open to selling defender Ben Chilwell, according to The Athletic. The decision appears to be influenced by two main factors:
Financial considerations: Chilwell is one of Chelsea’s highest earners, and a transfer could free up significant funds for squad investment.
Tactical fit: Maresca’s playing style might not align perfectly with Chilwell’s skill set.
Despite his past contributions and vice-captaincy, Chilwell’s injury struggles last season (limited to 21 appearances due to a hamstring issue) could also be a factor. The final decision likely hinges on receiving a suitable transfer offer.
