The 26-year-old’s current deal expires in the summer of 2025.

Chelsea’s are keen on avoiding having any top stars with less than two years left on their contracts.
And Chilwell is poised to put pen to paper on a new four-year deal, according to The Athletic.
That will see his contract run up until the summer of 2027.
It also wards off reported interest from Premier League champions Manchester City.
Reports earlier this year claimed City are long-time admirers of the left-back.
However, Chilwell is now poised to commit his long-term future to the Blues.
Chilwell joined the club in a £50million deal from Leicester in 2020, winning the Champions League in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
A long-term knee injury restricted him to just seven Premier League appearances last season.

Chilwell then missed the World Cup with England due to a hamstring problem.
But he is now back fit and firing and has impressed in what has been a poor campaign for the Blues.
He has started seven out of the last eight Prem games, scoring two goals and providing four assists in 25 appearances in all competitions so far this season.
