As Xabi Alonso prepares to take charge this summer, Chelsea face a significant squad reshuffle that could see a number of peripheral players moved on. Deputy goalkeeper Filip J\u00f6rgensen is among those widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
J\u00f6rgensen, 24, has reportedly asked to leave in search of more regular minutes after previously wanting to move in the winter transfer window but being refused. The Denmark international featured just 13 times across the 2025\u201326 campaign, having been seldom used under Enzo Maresca and described as prone to errors when appearing for Liam Rosenior. He joined from Villarreal in 2024 for $26.6 million (\u00a320.7 million) and has made his feelings clear to Chelsea\u2019s head of global goalkeeping, Ben Roberts. Porto, Be\u015fikta\u015f and Genoa showed interest during the January window, though no transfer is believed to be close and it remains to be seen whether those clubs will revive their interest. He is expected to attract suitors from the Premier League.<\/p>\n
One high-value asset Chelsea hope to retain is Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez. The Argentina international spoke publicly about a possible move to Real Madrid during the March international break, an action that saw the Blues suspend him for two matches. Manchester City have also emerged as a candidate for his signature as they prepare for life under Fern\u00e1ndez\u2019s former Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca. The 25-year-old is seemingly eager to leave after a turbulent season and the club has valued him at approximately $161.2 million (\u00a3120 million).<\/p>\n
Chelsea are prepared to lose other squad members. Axel Disasi and David Datro Fofana are expected to move on after returning from loan spells. Academy graduate Tyrique George could be sold for pure profit as an accountacy boost after a disappointing loan with Everton in early 2026. A decision must be made on Nicolas Jackson, who will not join Bayern Munich permanently after a loan that produced a domestic double and 14 goal involvements; the 24-year-old could still be given an opportunity under Alonso. Liam Delap may be among those departing despite only joining last summer. A woeful debut season, the arrival of Strasbourg\u2019s Emmanuel Emegha and a return of just three goals in 47 appearances make the 23-year-old a candidate for a sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
