Bayern Munich has expressed interest in signing Levi Colwill, but Chelsea is determined to keep the young defender on their team this summer. Reports have surfaced that Bayern has initiated talks about a potential deal for the 21-year-old, but Chelsea is not willing to part ways with him.
In addition to Colwill, Bayern is also eyeing Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah, who could potentially join the Bundesliga champions as a free agent next year. It seems that Bayern is looking to bolster their defense by targeting both Tah and Colwill, as the Chelsea player fits their criteria for a left-sided defender.
Last year, both Liverpool and Manchester City showed interest in Colwill, but Chelsea turned down their offers. And according to reports, the London-based club has no plans to sell Colwill to Bayern this summer. Even Brighton wanted to sign him permanently after a successful loan spell, but Chelsea rejected their £30 million bid.
Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's manager, has high hopes for Colwill. He believes that the young defender has the potential to become one of the best center-backs in England. This season, Colwill made 20 appearances in the Premier League, showcasing his versatility by playing in both central defense and left-back positions under Pochettino.
In other news, Chelsea has been in discussions with Aston Villa about a possible transfer for their striker, Jhon Duran. According to reports from Colombia, a deal worth £42 million has been agreed upon, and personal terms are now being negotiated.
Villa has also expressed interest in Chelsea's Conor Gallagher, but those negotiations will not be linked to the Duran deal. When asked about his future with Chelsea, Gallagher stated that his focus is currently on playing for England and the upcoming tournament.
