Milan wants to loan a defender from Chelsea

Milan plans to loan Chelsea's center-back, Ben Chilwell, this winter, as reported by MilanNews with reference to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The source indicates that the club has already begun working on this transfer. It's expected to be a six-month loan. The 'Rossoneri' aim to sign a new center-back due to health issues with Pierre Kalulu and Marco Pellegrino, as well as Simon Kjaer's poor physical condition.

It is reasonable to mention that Chelsea acquired Chilwell last winter for 38 million euros from Monaco. The Frenchman has appeared in only 12 matches for the 'Blues,' scoring two goals. This season, the player has featured solely in the English League Cup against Blackburn, having missed the rest of the time due to an injury.

By the way, Transfermarkt values the 22-year-old player at 40 million euros.
