Chelsea has successfully signed Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal for €24.5 million, as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The 22-year-old Danish goalkeeper, who previously committed to Villarreal until 2029, will now compete for the No. 1 spot at Stamford Bridge.
Jorgensen’s move to Chelsea comes after new manager Enzo Maresca expressed the need for another top-tier goalkeeper to challenge Robert Sanchez. Despite interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City, Chelsea swiftly finalized the deal, showcasing their determination to enhance their squad.
Jorgensen, a product of Villarreal’s youth academy, had an impressive season as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper, helping them secure an eighth-place finish in La Liga. His arrival at Chelsea marks a significant addition to the squad, continuing the club’s strategy of investing in young talent.
The smooth negotiations between Chelsea and Villarreal reflect the strong relationship between the two clubs, previously demonstrated by Chelsea’s acquisition of Nicolas Jackson. Alongside Jorgensen, Chelsea also secured the signing of Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors, further emphasizing their active and ambitious transfer approach this summer.
