Chelsea transfer news: Blues outcast wanted on loan deal by Juventus?

The 27-year-old was recently linked to Premier League giants Manchester United, who are looking for alternatives to Bayern Munich and Canada star Alphonso Davies.

Chilwell has suffered massively from the arrival of new head coach Enzo Maresca over the summer, with the Italian deeming the defender surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

As a result, the 21-time England international has not featured in a Premier League matchday squad for Chelsea this term after failing to secure a move away during the summer transfer window.

The former Leicester City star has only played 45 minutes of competitive football in 2024-25, featuring in the second half of the Blues' 5-0 thrashing of League Two Barrow in the EFL Cup on September 24.

Chelsea outcast Chilwell wanted by Juventus, Napoli?

According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, two Serie A powerhouses are interested in securing the services of out-of-favour Chelsea man Chilwell in the near future.

The report states that both Juventus and Napoli are exploring the possibility of New Year swoops for the signature of the 27-year-old as his Stamford Bridge isolation continues.

It is understood that Chelsea would be open to allowing Chilwell to move out on loan for the remainder of the campaign, with the West Londoners also willing to pay part of the defender's wages.

Such developments will be music to the ears of Juventus' hierarchy, with the Old Lady watching their finances following summer spending on Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners.

With first-choice left-back Juan Cabal out for the remainder of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury, head coach Thiago Motta is keen to recruit defensive reinforcements in January.

Where should Chilwell move next?

Frozen out at Stamford Bridge, Chilwell will have realised that he needs to secure a switch away from Chelsea in order to continue his top-flight career.

It is believed that numerous clubs in the Premier League are monitoring the situation of the full-back, although it is unclear whether they would be keen on January or summer deals.

That being said, Chilwell may want a change of scenery following a difficult period in England, with Juventus and Napoli able to offer a new experience for the 27-year-old as the Serie A title race heats up.
