Levi Colwill, the defender for Chelsea, is apparently a target for Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain to sign during the summer transfer window.
How Pochettino Views Levi Colwill
Colwill had to decide his future before the current season after making an impression while on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022–2023.
Colwill, who has been a key component of the Stamford Bridge project, ultimately made the decision to pledge his future to the team he has played for since the under-nine level.
Mauricio Pochettino views the 21-year-old as a vital player, as he has made a total of 27 starts and five substitute appearances in all competitions this season.
Although Colwill has made a lot of appearances in new roles, such as left-back, Chelsea sees him as a long-term central defender.

However, things might get problematic if fans start to show interest in the England international at a time when the West Londoners could have to make a big-money sale.
Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher, and Armando Broja are examples of academy graduates that Chelsea have yet to draw offers for suitably. These players would probably be sold for the proper amount in an effort to abide by the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability requirements.
When transfer operations resume in June, Chelsea officials anticipate receiving compelling offers for Colwill, according to GIVEMESPORT.
Reports suggest that Liverpool and PSG are deliberating over potential approaches and transfer fees.
However, Colwill may not be eager to depart Stamford Bridge at this juncture of his career, having only amassed 86 senior appearances across various loan spells, including stints at Huddersfield Town.
Amount Chelsea Could Demand
While competition for starting berths would be fierce at Liverpool and PSG, Colwill could offer valuable depth to both squads. Liverpool, in particular, are reportedly keen to rejuvenate their defensive lineup and could pair Colwill with Virgil van Dijk.
Should interest materialize, Chelsea are expected to demand a substantial fee, likely exceeding £50 million, considering Colwill’s contract until 2029 and their previous rejection of £40 million offers last summer.
