Chelsea faces difficulties in selling Chilwell

Defender Ben Chilwell has become a problematic figure at Chelsea since the arrival of Enzo Maresca, as he does not meet the Italian manager’s criteria. However, offloading the 28-year-old proved unsuccessful in the summer, and a winter transfer also appears challenging.

Details: According to The Sun, the main obstacle to selling or loaning Chilwell is his £190,000-per-week salary. The player is unwilling to take a pay cut simply to make it easier for Chelsea to part ways with him.

As a result, Chelsea may have to either pay Chilwell compensation or cover part of his wages if he leaves on loan.

Reminder: Previous reports indicated that the 28-year-old defender was included in a list of five players Chelsea plans to part with during the winter transfer window.
