Brighton & Hove Albion have set their sights on one of Chelsea’s pearls and have submitted a €40m offer for Levi Colwill, according to recent reports. The young English defender, who spent last season on loan at Brighton, has impressed with his Premier League performances and the southern club are willing to invest heavily to secure his services.
Brighton, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, have shown remarkable financial strength in the transfer market, and their focus on recruiting promising young talent is evident. With additions such as Moisés Caicedo, Kaoru Mitoma and Julio Enciso, the club has captured the attention of the best teams in the world.
Chelsea receives an offer of 40 million for one of its pearls
After receiving significant amounts of money from sales in the past, Brighton are determined to spend and improve their squad. They have shelled out €34m for João Pedro and secured the arrivals of Mahmoud Dahoud and James Milner as free agents. Now your main goal is Levi Colwill.
Although Colwill belongs to Chelsea, Brighton already know his worth, with the defender making 17 Premier League appearances last season as part of the deal that brought Marc Cucurella to Chelsea. Brighton are willing to make a significant investment to secure the services of the young English defender.
However, Chelsea consider Colwill a non-transferable piece and plan to offer him a new contract. Although his current contract expires in 2025, the player is expected to get first-team minutes this season, especially after the departure of Kalidou Koulibaly. Colwill is willing to wait and talk to new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino to find out his plan and decide his future.
Levi Colwill’s future remains uncertain, but it is clear that Brighton are willing to invest a considerable sum to secure his talent. Meanwhile, Chelsea will do everything possible to retain their promising youngster and offer him first-team opportunities. The final decision will rest with Colwill, who will seek Pochettino’s advice before making a decision on his next step in his promising career.
