Levi Colwill wants to hold talks with Mauricio Pochettino before signing a new contract at Chelsea.
The Blues are keen to tie the 20-year-old defender down to a new deal having rejected a £40million from Brighton, the club where he excelled on loan last season.
Chelsea insist he is not for sale at any price and view him as a long-term option at centre-half but as it stands heading into the 2023-24 season, Chelsea are well stocked at the back.
With Thiago Silva also still a mainstay at the back, Chelsea have invested heavily at the back over the last 12 months with Wesley Fofana joining the club in a £70m deal last summer.
Benoit Badiashile arrived for £30m in January with Trevoh Chalobah also an option.
According to the Evening Standard, Colwill does not want a back-up role at the club and wants clarity on his situation before making any decision on his future.
Chelsea meanwhile are hopeful of signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton with talks between the two clubs expected in the coming days.
