Report: Chelsea goalkeeper Jorgensen seeks to leave Chelsea

Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge over a lack of regular game time.

The 24-year-old told head of global goalkeeping Ben Roberts he wants consistent first-team football, having joined from Villarreal for £20.7m in 2024.

Under former head coach Enzo Maresca, Jorgensen largely acted as Robert Sanchez's understudy, before being rotated in and out under successor Liam Rosenior.

A high-profile error away at Paris St-Germain in March was followed by groin surgery, which saw him lose his place again until Sanchez suffered a concussion against Nottingham Forest earlier this month.

That lack of regular game time is understood to be behind his desire to leave, with Chelsea open to a sale on favourable terms after previously blocking his attempts to depart in January.

Interest was registered in the last transfer window by Besiktas, Genoa and Porto.

However, wider Premier League interest is also expected, with no move understood to be close so soon after the end of the season.

The Blues also have Mike Penders, 20, on their books after he spent the season on loan at partner club Strasbourg.

Penders made 52 appearances for the French side, including in the Conference League, which has led to his first senior international call-up for Belgium.

The young goalkeeper is highly regarded at Stamford Bridge and is likely to be considered as Jorgensen's replacement by Xabi Alonso during pre-season, having joined from Genk for £17m in 2025.

Another goalkeeper may still need to be signed by the BlueCo group to ensure Strasbourg can push for European qualification again next season.
