‘£50m plus KDB, Foden and Haaland’ – Chelsea fans react to Chilwell to Man City rumour
Ben Chilwell has been linked with a move from Chelsea to Manchester City in a deal that would eclipse Joao Cancelo transfer to Bayern Munich as the shock transfer of the window.
Indeed, Cancelo departing the Etihad Stadium amid an increasingly strained relationship with manager Pep Guardiola appears to have fuelled talk of the Premier League champions chasing another full-back.
The Daily Mail reports that one of City’s targets is Chilwell.

He may well be a player that Guardiola admires, yet the prospect of the Manchester side leveraging a deal for the 26-year-old appears incredibly slim.
Indeed, it appears likelier that Man City might move for Pedro Porro, whose move to Tottenham from Sporting CP has broken down. Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, has a buy-back option in the player’s contract.

Certainly, the idea of City being able to pinch a regular from Chelsea is one that has shocked Blues fans, who don’t see the deal as one that is possible.
Indeed, they have set outrageous terms for the transfer to get done.
We agree but they will pay 50m plus kdb, foden and halaand

But not every Blues fan believes that Chilwell should be retained at all costs.
If you’re saying no to this in the chelsea fanbase you’re beyond help
Chilwell is bang average and we’d get an insane fee for him because he’s English

Man City should just pay 80m pounds and get Chiwell. Crisp business!
Cucurella, Hall and Matsen can get the job done.
Don't forget his injury history and age.— Comrade (@EmmaUwanaka) January 30, 2023
Chilwell is given an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €31.2m by FootballTransfers largely because of his injury history in recent months. His peak value was €49m in November 2021.
