Chelsea’s problems with UEFA and financial fair play could do the business of PSG, very interested in the profile of young English central defender Levi Colwill.

A central defender trained at Chelsea, Levi Colwill has established himself as an important player in the eyes of Mauricio Pochettino for the Blues. Used 29 times in all competitions, the Southampton native is now a full starter alongside Thiago Silva and Axel Disasi within the London club. Under contract with Chelsea until June 2029, Levi Colwill is obviously not a player that Chelsea intends to part with in the years to come. But due to the English club’s huge spending in recent months, UEFA is monitoring Chelsea’s accounts and could pin the British club under Financial Fair Play. Next summer, the club owned by Todd Boehly will have no choice but to downsize and be careful with its spending.

According to information from the London Evening Standard, several European clubs could take advantage of this to attack Chelsea in the Levi Colwill case. The English defender is very popular in the Premier League, where Liverpool have had a crush on him and would like to recruit him during the next transfer window. Without a doubt, Chelsea are not considering for a second giving away their defender and even less to a rival. This situation also aroused great interest… from Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, the reigning French champion is cited by the British media as the second club very interested in the tall (1m87) 20-year-old English central defender. It’s no secret that PSG will seek to strengthen its central defense during the next transfer window and a year after recruiting Milan Skriniar, the Parisian staff would this time like to bring in a young defender with high potential. With this in mind, Leny Yoro is the priority but if the LOSC defender were to escape Paris, then Qatar could fall back on Levi Colwill, a player with characteristics similar to those of the French international hopefuls.
