Colwill will now be absent for most of the next season after having suffered analyzes and surgery on the problem, suddenly making the potential addition of a new central defender all the more important.
Chelsea recently put on paper on an agreement for Jorrel Hato, who joined a move of nearly 38 million pounds from Ajax, but the club considers him as more than one left back and an alternative to Marc Cucurella.
The Blues were apparently still looking at new central defenders even before Colwill’s injury, so he is sure that they are at least planning to move to one now when approaching the last weeks of the window.
“Chelsea will always be on the market for a new central back and a new goalkeeper, even after the arrival of Jorrel Hato, who, as we have reported, is considered Marc Cucurella Competition anyway,” wrote journalist Simon Phillips via his substitution at the end of last month.
There is no guarantee that the two positions are signed at this stage or even one, and this will depend on the expenses for the central back, on which I have another article later in the day and opportunities. But Chelsea still explores the two markets for this summer. “”
However, those of the club believe that Chelsea already has a solid replacement of Colwill.
Chelsea coach staff want Renato Veiga to replace Levi Colwill
According to TBR Football and journalist Graeme Bailey, this man is Renato Veiga, 22.
The international of Portugal should widely leave this summer after spending the second half of 2024/2025 on loan to Juventus, Chelsea even offering Veiga to various clubs.
However, it is now believed that the staff of Chelsea coaches believe that Veiga should have the possibility of replacing Colwill and showing its value.
“Chelsea is emptied in Colwill, he is such a popular player and is a key artist for them, and they support him fully,” said Bailey.
“However, they assess their options, and I am told that there are voices in Cobham who believe that with Veiga, Anselmino and Hato, they could very well face without him in the short term.”
MARESCA sent a public message to the 22 -year -old last season last season, in the midst of credible reports at the time that Veiga wanted to be used as a central defender, not in the back where the boss of Chelsea often deployed him.
“We brought Renato de Basel and he played in different positions,” said Maresca, via Ben Jacobs.
“This allowed him to join the [Portugal] National team for the first time in his life. Even if he does not play in his [preferred position]He has been playing for his national team at the start of their twenties since he joined Chelsea. We are very proud of it. “”
With Colwill Broudured, it seems that Veiga may well want his wish to be used more in the center if the push came to push.
