Chelsea FC makes a significant decision on Levi Colwill's future

Amidst interests from top sides in Europe, Chelsea FC have taken a huge decision on the future of England international Levi Colwill at the club.

From all indications, Brighton Hove Albion might not be getting their defender from Chelsea FC, as the Blues have made a huge decision on Levi Colwill's future at the club.

It has been confirmed that Chelsea has secured the future of promising defender Levi Colwill by reaching an agreement in principle for a six-year deal. This effectively ends any speculation about his departure during the current summer transfer window.

According to numerous reports, Colwill's contract at the moment with Chelsea has two years left, and there's an option for another year. Brighton was interested in signing him, and they tried to include him in a deal for Moisés Caicedo. However, Chelsea wants to keep Colwill as he's a valuable player from their academy. On Monday, the talks to extend his contract went well, and Chelsea offered him a contract worth more than £100,000 per week. The final agreement hasn't been confirmed yet.

Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's head coach, has expressed confidence in Colwill's potential and sees him as one of the most promising defenders in England. While the team can still rely on the experience of Thiago Silva, who turns 39 soon, they are also looking to build for the future.

The owners of the club, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, are currently overseeing a rebuilding phase after a difficult first year. It is their priority to keep their homegrown talents within the team, especially after the sale of Mason Mount to Manchester United. Chelsea's academy prospects are highly esteemed, as shown by the long-term contracts signed by Reece James and Armando Broja last year. Additionally, Nathaniel Chalobah has been with the club since his youth, and there is currently no information available on contract negotiations with Conor Gallagher, whose terms are set to expire in 2025.

To sum up, Chelsea is committed to securing the future of Levi Colwill and maintaining its dedication to nurturing and retaining young talents from their esteemed academy. The potential long-term deal for Colwill showcases the club's focus on building a solid foundation for sustained success.
