How a lot would Liverpool be anticipated to pay for Colwill?
The report from HITC doesn’t make clear precisely how a lot a possible suitor could be anticipated to fork out to fulfill Chelsea’s valuation.
With a contract not expiring till 2029, nevertheless, it’s honest to count on this to be considerably substantial.
Soccer Transfers’ valuation system estimates Colwill’s worth at £26.4m – we really feel that is extraordinarily conservative given the potential of the participant and the contract size on the desk.
Transfermarkt are nearer to the mark, in our eyes, with a £42.1m valuation. Although we’d be massively stunned if Chelsea have been to entertain any supply underneath £50m this summer season.
