Chelsea currently owns the right to a promising young player in Valentino Livramento.

However, the 18-year-old could find himself moving soon with reports that several English Premier League and non-English teams are inquiring about his services.

The Blues want to prolong the stay of the center-back, but it cannot be denied that he is a talent that would be hard to overlook.

He won the “Youth Player of the Year” award last season, placing him along with the ranks of other recipients that include Mason Mount, Reece James and Billy Gilmour.

With the Blues determined to acquire Achraf Hakimi, several teams are looking into the possibility of taking the Chelsea phenom off their hands.

Among the teams allegedly interested in the teenage prodigy include RB Leipzig, Southampton and Brighton.

The three clubs append the previous list which includes Aston Villa and Milan.

The interest of the two teams has been already confirmed, meaning there is a big chance that the starlet will have a lot of options to choose from.

Livramento has seen action 46 times for the Blues reserve team and has accounted for four goals and 17 assists.

He has already been named twice to Chelsea’s bench for Premier League games by Thomas Tuchel. These were matches against Arsenal and Manchester City.

However, he has yet to make a senior appearance for the Blues.

Further raising the chances of seeing him leaving Stamford Bridge is the fact that Chelsea is looking to land a world-class striker and possibly a right-wing-back to pick up from Cesar Azpilicueta.

An option to keep Livramento under the Blues umbrella is to send him out on loan.

But all this can only happen if Chelsea can lock up the Englishman to a new deal.

In a previous report, AC Milan was looking into the possibility of getting Livramento. However, the level of interest appears to have changed following I Rossoneri’s permanent acquisition of FIkayo Tomori.

The Serie A side took up the option on Tomori last June 17. He is now on a permanent deal with AC Milan, something that would keep him at the San Siro Stadium for the next four years.
