Through the official club website, BLD Chelsea confirmed that they had sold the left wing expert Ben Chilwell to Strasbourg. It is not clear how much Strasbourg has to pay to complete this deal, but they have signed a 2 -year contract with the 28 -year -old British.
Growing up from the Leicester City youth team, Chilwell was bought by Chelsea by 2020 at a price of up to 45 million pounds. Along with Chelsea, he won 3 titles, most significant is the Champions League 2020/21.
Despite the cost of Chelsea so much, Chilwell only played for the western representative of London in the first half of last season. In the second phase of the season, he was sent to Crystal Palace by Chelsea on loan and 11 matches appeared in this club shirt.
With what happened, it is understandable that Chilwell is considered no longer in Chelsea. Should know, at Chelsea at this time there was a reliable left -back Marc Cucurella, not to mention Chelsea also recruited rookie Jorrel Hato to play in the same position as Chilwell.
Coming to Strasbourg, Chilwell will play for the team that is considered a “sister” with Chelsea. Like Chelsea, Strasbourg is also a collective owned by Blueco Group managed by billionaire Todd Boehly.
In another development, right on the last day of the summer transfer period 2025 Chelsea also broke up with another left -back, Emerson Palmieri. When selling the 31 -year -old player to the Port city team, Chelsea earned 700,000 euros (not to mention 300,000 euros incurred).
