A Premier League club have now made contact over signing an “unbelievable” Chelsea player this summer, according to a report.
Chelsea stars attracting attention
Although the Blues’ form has taken a downward turn since the end of 2024, with their title aspirations fading, there have been encouraging signs this season, and they are still in a strong position to return to the Champions League in the 2025/26 campaign.
As such, it is little wonder some of Enzo Maresca’s star players are attracting attention ahead of the summer transfer window, and Real Madrid have recently joined the race for midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who would be very keen on joining the Spanish side.
There have also been suggestions that Christopher Nkunku could be in line for a move this summer, with Bayern Munich interested in signing the forward, and the west Londoners would not stand in his way if an offer came in.

While Chelsea would be nonplussed by Nkunku’s departure, a new report has revealed they are desperate to keep hold of Levi Colwill – and there is now doubt over the defender’s future at Stamford Bridge amid interest from Liverpool.
The Reds have made contact to discuss the possibility of signing Colwill in the summer transfer window, which could be a concern for Maresca as the centre-back is viewed as a future captain and a key part of the squad.
The Englishman has previously been valued at £40m, but there is no inclination BlueCo would be willing to sanction his departure, given how highly he is rated by many key figures at the club.
Promisingly, the report states the player himself is not interested in a move anytime soon, having re-affirmed his commitment to his boyhood club by signing a new six-year contract in 2023.
"Unbelievable" Colwill now key player for Maresca
The 22-year-old has emerged as a key player for Chelsea this season, making 27 appearances in the Premier League, and he has put in some impressive performances in recent weeks, despite his side’s drop-off in form.
The Cobham academy graduate has also received high praise from BBC Sport journalist Nizaar Kinsella, who lauded him as “unbelievable”, while Maresca has praised him for his leadership qualities:
“The one that is doing fantastic in this kind of thing is Levi. Levi probably at the beginning of the season was not a leader but now you can see that he is one of the guys that is always speaking. We need to build that.”
As such, it is clear to see why some key figures at Chelsea view Colwill as a future captain, and they should make sure to knock back any advances from Liverpool this summer.
