Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news, transfer speculation and gossip that you could have missed…
Here is the latest transfer speculation regarding Chelsea, as there are some stunning claims that the Blues are plotting a £130million bid for Vinicius Junior, according to Fichjaes.
CHELSEA have already spent some serious money the last couple of transfer windows, they have improved that defence, that midfield and even added some new strikers to that attack, but there is always time to keep on adding players to the squad.
And now there could be a chance to try and sign Vinicius Junior from Madid, as Spanish outlet Fichajes claim that Los Blancos are ready to cash in on their superstar after refusing to put Vinicius Jr on the same salary as Kylian Mbappe.
Saudi giants Al-Hilal have retained an interest in the Brazilian winger, but this latest development would also perk the ears of Premier League sides as Chelsea have been long-term admirers of the Brazilian star.
IcChelseanews Says…
We can see why Madrid would want to sell Vinicius Junior this transfer window or at the end of next season, he is probably alot more hassle than he is worth, and greedy at that.
The Premier League would test him on a weekly basis, he would probably struggle to make any sort of impact in that CHELSEA side if the Blues make a move to try and get a deal done, he would not like the English game.
He can be a quality player on his day, but he would struggle in the Premier League and honestly, he would cause far too much hassle. So a move to Saudi Arabia is much more likely
BRANTHWAITE WANTED
Fresh reports in the media this week which is claimed CHELSEA are very interested in Everton defender Jared Branthwaite, as they seek to improve that defence over the course of the transfer window.
CHELSEA finished the season very well last year and they got champions League football, and they won a European trophy, which doesn’t come around very often. So Enzo Maresca was looking for a better start this season.
But on New Years day, he was allowed to leave and now Chelsea have former Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior in charge in hope they can get back into the habit of winning and pushing towards that Premier League title
But it seems that they are now looking at adding the talented Branthwaite to the side in order to help improve the defensive side of the game, as the Blues have been very shaky at the back this season.
The young defender has the potential to become world-class in the coming seasons if he makes the right moves in the next couple of seasons, and reports on the sun have claimed that CHELSEA are ready to open talks with Everton over a potential deal.
IcChelseanews says…
He is just the type of player that CHELSEA like to sign, young and hungry, that they can give a massive contract too. He is ready for that next step up and if he is able to hold down a regular spot in that Blues back-line, he will certainly improve their defence.
But then again, is he ready for a move like Chelsea? we are one of the biggest clubs in the game and he will need to up his level to even get into the side.
JORGENSEN WANTS OUT
Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has asked to leave the club amid interest from Besiktas during this January transfer window.
CHELSEA have been in the headlines alot over the past few weeks after they decided to let Enzo Maresca leave the club on New Years day, which led to alot of speculation about what boss would be coming into the club.
But after a dew days of talks, Liam Rosenior was announced as boss of Chelsea on Tuesday 6th January 2025, in a move that has many pundits divided about whether or not he is actually ready to lead one of the biggest teams in the Premier League.
But there is also speculation that a number of players are looking to leave CHELSEA this transfer window and Jorgensen is a man that is attracting some interest having failed to make the impact that he would have hoped for.
According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Besiktas has offered to take Jorgensen on an 18‑month loan with the option to make the move permanent, and the report claims Jorgensen wants the move.
Besiktas’s alternative target is Tottenham’s Antonin Kinsky. Spurs have been contacted about a potential loan for Kinsky but have yet to make a final decision.
Besiktas now await responses from both English clubs before progressing.
IcChelseanews Says…
It is probably the right decision to want to leave the club, as he is not playing that much, and with it being a world cup year, he needs to be playing. So Besiktas would be a very good move to make.
