According to Dean Jones of GIVEMESPORT, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Chelsea defensive ace Levi Colwill.
The 21-year-old has been a vital player for manager Mauricio Pochettino’s side since returning to Stamford Bridge from his loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion in the 2022-23 season.
Since then he has made 27 appearances (excluding five as a substitute) in all competitions this season. Although he is being utilized as a left-back, the English star is considered as a long-term occupant of the centre-back spot.
Colwill has been at the club since he was nine and the defender has committed his future to the West London club. But reports now suggest that Premier League giants Liverpool and French champions Paris Saint-Germain are keeping tabs on the youngster.

The Reds are looking for a fresh alternative in defence since the regular pair of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate have started very few games together in this campaign.
Injury issues have kept Matip on the sidelines and they are now preferring Jarell Quansah over other senior options. Meanwhile, PSG has several options but is confident of handing minutes to Colwill.
Should Colwill move away from Stamford Bridge this summer?
It is expected that Chelsea might receive offers for Colwill in June. However, the club will only entertain offers in the region of £50m as his contract expires in 2029.
However, we believe that the centre-back should stay with the Blues. It would be too early to make a move to another club as the player is settled at Chelsea.

The player is a vital part of Pochettino’s project and will receive more opportunities in the future. Thiago Silva’s expected departure this summer might help Colwill gain more game-time in his natural playing position.
The Englishman has made only 86 appearances in his senior career and it would be wise to grab more experience before contemplating a move. Whether there is any twist in this transfer saga in the upcoming months remains to be seen.
