Chelsea reach an agreement in principle, to guarantee the future of their key defensive star at Stamford Bridge.

The contract extension between Levi Colwill and Chelsea has been finalized.

Levi Colwill and Chelsea have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement on a six-year contract, dispelling rumors that he would be leaving the club soon, according to the Guardian.

Although Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool have been linked with the 20-year-old defender, the Blues are doing everything in their power to keep him for the long term. Now, it seems like they’ve succeeded in doing just that.

Colwill had a breakthrough season that made him a top prospect in the Premier League. He spent the entire 2022–2023 season on loan at Brighton. Now that he is ready, west London will welcome him as a senior star.

Brighton wanted Chelsea to include the center back in a swap deal with Moises Caicedo, but Chelsea rejected their offer and said they would keep the Englishman for the upcoming season.

Colwill, whose contract only had two years left on it with an option to extend, will now give Blues fans some welcome news as the U21 England International is expected to stay at Stamford Bridge. The time is right for us to create the rearguard around him now that his future is more or less secure.

The center-back has been offered £100,000 per week and is confident that he will play a significant role in the first team and for the team next season.

The agreement has not yet been finalized, but so far, negotiations have been going well. Colwill may soon sign a new agreement.

The 20-year-old had a standout season for Brighton, and Chelsa was convinced that Mauricio Pochettino’s strategy should include him heavily moving forward. Colwill is likely to share regular playing time for Chelsea in the upcoming season with Thiago Silva or Axel Disasi given that Benoit Badiashile’s recovery from injury is still uncertain.

At the age of 20, he has already shown proficiency, and with the right manager, he will only get better. Let’s hope Chelsea completes the extension of his contract quickly; after all, fans must have grown tired of hearing him linked with a new club every week.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have finalized a deal to acquire 25-year-old Monaco center-back

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Chelsea have finalized a deal to acquire 25-year-old Monaco center-back Axel Disasi, who will become the Blues’ sixth permanent addition of the summer.

Although Disasi has recently been associated with several Premier League teams—Manchester United and Newcastle are just two of the clubs that have been linked with him this summer—the Blues didn’t seem to be in the mix until Sunday, when it unexpectedly became clear that a deal was close.

Romano claims that Chelsea is willing to pay Monaco €45 million for a player who has become more well-known over the past season.

“Chelsea have sealed a deal for Axel Disasi,” the football transfer expert declared.
The two clubs are planning to exchange paperwork and documents.
”.
A medical formality that Disasi still needs to finish is scheduled to be finished early this week. With the possibility of an additional year, he will agree to a five-year contract with the team.

Romano continued by saying that despite interest from both Newcastle and Manchester United, neither of the two Champions League teams decided to make a bid for the player.

Benoit Badiashile, a central defensive colleague of Disasi, was acquired by Chelsea for €38 million in January, making him the second defender from Monaco that Chelsea has acquired in the past two transfer windows.

Season to remember for Axel Disasi.
Disasi participated in each and every one of Monaco’s 49 competitive games in Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and European football last season as they finished sixth in France. In these games, he scored six goals and assisted on four others.

He also earned four France caps during this time and played a minute in the World Cup final. He also turned pro during this time.

Didier Deschamps has used him as a right-back while playing with Les Bleus despite the fact that he is typically a center-back.

The Expected Transfer Value (xTV) for Disasi is €20 million, which indicates that Chelsea is overpaying to sign him.
