Juventus and Napoli, two of Italy's top football clubs, have expressed interest in signing Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell during the upcoming winter transfer window. The England international has been sidelined from first-team football at Chelsea, sparking speculation about his future with the club.
Chilwell was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Enzo Maresca last summer. Despite this decision, he did not leave the club and has since been excluded from first-team football. This situation has led many to believe that he will be seeking a new challenge in the New Year.
Juventus and Napoli exploring loan deals
According to reported from Italy, both Juventus and Napoli are considering loan deals for Chilwell with a possible buy option. The former Leicester City defender could be an attractive prospect for these Serie A clubs given his proven skills on the pitch.
The Bianconeri seem particularly interested in acquiring Chilwell's services following Juan Cabal's serious knee injury earlier this month. While no lucrative bids were made for him over the summer, joining either Juventus or Napoli could prove tempting for Chilwell.
Potential benefits for Chelsea
Chelsea stands to benefit from such a deal as well. If Chilwell impresses in Serie A, they may be able to offload him on a permanent basis by next summer - an outcome that would likely suit all parties involved.
In addition to potentially offloading Chilwell permanently next year, it is also expected that Raheem Sterling will leave Stamford Bridge following his season-long loan deal at Arsenal.
The upcoming winter transfer window promises some exciting developments as top Serie A clubs like Juventus and Napoli show interest in signing sidelined players like Ben ChilwelI from Premier League giants like Chelsea. As sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts, it will be interesting to see how these potential transfers pan out and what impact they could have on the teams involved.
