Chelsea’s goalkeeping department is on the brink of another transformation, with Filip Jörgensen nearing a transfer to RC Strasbourg. The Denmark international, who joined from Villarreal, has struggled to secure the starting position at Stamford Bridge.

Throughout much of last season, Robert Sánchez held the top spot, and injuries hindered Jörgensen’s chances to gain momentum. With only 12 appearances last season and a total of 36 games over two years, Jörgensen is now seeking regular football instead of waiting for sporadic opportunities.

Strasbourg presents a clearer pathway for him to become a consistent starter. Chelsea, equipped with various alternatives, appears willing to approve his departure without rushing to find a replacement.

Key details are being finalized for the move:

• Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Jörgensen's deal is nearly complete.
• Salary conditions are among the last points being discussed.
• Jörgensen has already exited Chelsea’s pre-season tour in Australia and Asia to finalize the transfer.

The Standard reported that he was left out of the friendly against Western Sydney Wanderers, emphasizing his desire for regular playing time. Given that Mike Penders has returned to Chelsea, the need for a new goalkeeper at Strasbourg makes Jörgensen a logical fit.

This move could allow Jörgensen to rebuild his confidence through consistent first-team action, while Chelsea can establish a clearer hierarchy with Penders back and Sánchez alongside younger goalkeepers. Currently, Chelsea is not planning to recruit an immediate replacement for Jörgensen, but they must ensure any agreement provides genuine sporting value for both clubs.
