Borussia Dortmund target Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell

'The Sun' reveals a rapprochement between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. The German side, who were keeping a close eye on Renato Veiga's situation, have now shown an interest in Ben Chilwell, who Enzo Maresca has not considered.

The 28-year-old left-back, who joined Chelsea in 2020 after several years with Leicester, was a very good first season. His first season was very good and the Milton Keynes full-back managed 4 goals and 7 assists, but he got injured in the second season and was not able to regain his best form.

He completed the 2023-24 season with only 21 games played, just 13 starts and one assist. This season, the arrival of Enzo Maresca has not been of great help to him, as he first included him in the group of players who trained separately and then has not had him for anything more than an EFL Cup match in which he played half a part.

Chilwell, for whom Chelsea paid more than 50 million euros, is keen to continue his career with an English club, but would not be unhappy to join a European runners-up who are looking to revamp their squad after the departure of Nuri Sahin.

According to The Sun, the approach from the Signal Iduna Park outfit is serious and a loan move would be possible, but the Germans will have the disadvantage of Chilwell's high salary at Stamford Bridge. In any case, Chelsea, who want to facilitate his departure, could pay part of his salary.
