Levi Colwill has been making waves in the football world, catching the attention of European giants Bayern Munich. However, his current club Chelsea has no intention of parting ways with the talented defender this summer. In fact, they see him as a potential future captain of the club.
Bayern Munich has expressed a strong interest in Colwill, and recent reports even suggested that they had initial talks about a possible transfer. The Bundesliga champions are determined to strengthen their defense, especially with the arrival of Vincent Kompany as their new head coach. They are also pursuing Bayer Leverkusen and Germany center-back Jonathan Tah.
However, according to reliable sources at The Athletic, Bayern may have to look elsewhere as Chelsea has declared Colwill "untouchable." The 21-year-old has been with the Blues since he was just nine years old and is considered an elite talent from their Cobham academy. The club sees him as a future leader and will not entertain any offers for him before the transfer deadline.
Chelsea believes that Colwill's potential and talent are on par with the best in England. They value him at around £100 million but have no intention of selling him. In fact, they expect him to grow into one of the best center-backs in the country in the coming years. Last season, he returned from a successful loan spell at Brighton and played in 32 matches for the Blues, starting in 20 of them.
Colwill's contract with Chelsea runs until 2029, and the club has no plans of letting him go anytime soon. Even when Brighton made a £30 million offer for him last summer, the Blues made it clear that he was not for sale. Colwill then signed a long-term deal with the club, stating that he wanted to continue playing and hopefully earn a spot in the England national team.
Chelsea has been on a spending spree since Todd Boehly took over in 2022, spending over £1 billion on new players. And they are not slowing down this summer as they prepare for more arrivals and departures. Their top priority is to find a new striker to ease the load on Nicolas Jackson, who had a mixed debut season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 17 goals.
Their initial target, Benjamin Sesko, decided to stay with RB Leipzig, so Chelsea has turned their attention to other options. Among their potential targets are Aston Villa's Jhon Duran, 20, and Atletico Madrid's Samu Omorodion, 20. Both young strikers have caught the eye of the Blues and could be the solution to their attacking needs.
