Atlético de Madrid is seriously considering signing Ben Chilwell to strengthen their left flank. Diego Simeone, aware of the team's defensive needs, has set his sights on the English full-back from Chelsea, who is going through a difficult time at the London club, as reported by TeamTalk.

Chilwell, 27, joined Chelsea from Leicester City as one of the Blues' major defensive signings. However, his recent seasons have not been favorable as injuries and the arrival of new players like Marc Cucurella and Levi Colwill have significantly reduced his role in the team. This season, he has played only 45 minutes with the first team under Enzo Maresca's management, suggesting he will remain a secondary option.

Atlético de Madrid seeks to fortify their defense

Atlético sees in Chilwell an opportunity to fill a potential upcoming vacancy, given that Reinildo Mandava's contract is nearing expiration. Chilwell's versatility to play as both a full-back and wing-back fits perfectly into Simeone's tactical scheme, aiming to bolster the team's defensive solidity.

Despite not securing a departure last summer, all signs indicate that Chilwell is determined to find a solution in the upcoming winter transfer window, as he does not wish to spend more time on the bench. Atlético will seek to negotiate a transfer at a reduced price, knowing that Chelsea would be open to offers for a player no longer in Maresca's plans. Hence, the colchoneros could seize the opportunity to acquire a quality full-back who still has much to offer.
