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.
