# Liverpool join City in race to sign Ben Chilwell

Liverpool are ready to renew their interest in Leicester’s Ben Chilwell, rivalling Manchester City in a move.

[According to reports](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/leicester-non-c-e-solo-il-city-su-chilwell-75438), the Reds are once again interested in signing the England international.

Pep Guardiola’s side have been heavily linked with the player in recent weeks, but Liverpool’s interest dates back for some time.

New Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers even [confirmed](https://readleicester.com/2019/03/16/rodgers-determined-to-fight-to-keep-chilwell/) that he tried to sign the player during his time at Anfield.

It has already been [suggested](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/03/05/man-city-may-have-break-defender-world-transfer-record-land/) that Leicester will ask for somewhere in the region of £75 million for Chilwell this summer, with interest beginning to rise.

That price would match the world record fee for a defender that Liverpool paid Southampton to sign Virgil van Dijk.

Chilwell has been a mainstay for Leicester this season and his immediate future looks likely to dominate the headlines over the summer.

Leicester have already been [linked](https://readleicester.com/2019/03/15/arsenal-join-leicester-in-the-race-to-sign-kieran-tierney/) with Celtic’s Kieran Tierney as a possible replacement.
