Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both keen on signing the Leicester City defender, according to reports.

According to a report from the Sun, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have entered the race to sign £50 million-rated Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell.

The 22-year-old has been in excellent form for the Foxes this season, chalking up three assists in 29 Premier League games thus far, and he has also impressed when playing for England.

Manchester City are interested in signing Chilwell, according to the Sun, whilst Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato claimed that Liverpool have also been monitoring his progress.

And now the Sun suggests that La Liga giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid want to sign the Leicester ace in the summer.

Ben Chilwell of England

The British tabloid claims that Brendan Rodgers is desperate to keep hold of his star left-back, but a bid of around £50 million could tempt the east Midlands outfit into selling.

Much will depend on how much Leicester actually need the cash, and if they do sell Chilwell, they will have to spend heavily in order to sufficiently replace the England international.
