Alfie Gilchrist leaving Chelsea?
Chelsea are ready to sell Alfie Gilchrist for less than €2 million this summer. The 21-year-old broke into the Blues' first team under Mauricio Pochettino in the 2023/24 season. Chelsea initially hoped to raise around €5.7 million (£5m) from his departure. According to Ben Jacobs, the valuation has now dropped down to just €1.7m (£1.5m). Chelsea would want add-ons and a potential sell-on clause as part of his sale. Gilchrist's likely destination appears to be in the Championship or Saudi Arabia.
Chelsea is seeking the immediate sale of Alfie Gilchrist for £5 million (€6m) as interest builds in the player. He spent last season on loan at Sheffield United in the Championship. With 12 months remaining on his contract, Chelsea is looking to sell him now. Clubs in the Saudi Pro League are also studying the possibility of a deal.
Saudi Pro League clubs have made an approach for Alfie Gilchrist, seeing him as a strong profile fit for their league. This comes amidst his expected departure from Chelsea this summer.
Alfie Gilchrist is expected to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis after spending the 2024/25 season on loan at Sheffield United. He has played 17 times for Chelsea's first team.
Alfie Gilchrist is enjoying a brilliant spell at Championship side Sheffield United, attracting interest from Premier League clubs keen on a permanent transfer. However, Chelsea believes the best course of action would be for the 21-year-old defender to see out the season with Sheffield United.
