Since the Premier League season drew to a close, all the talk has surrounded the future of both Joao Pedro and Enzo Fernandez. Yet, there is another player that wants to leave; goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.
Chelsea ended speculation surrounding Pedro by making him untouchable, not even putting a ridiculous price tag on his head. That is despite Deco and Bojan flying in to London in an attempt to tempt Chelsea.
What is a fair price for Joao Pedro? 🔮
He cost £60m a year ago…
Chelsea have put a £120m price tag on Enzo Fernandez’s shoulders. The World Cup winner will be given Chelsea’s blessing to leave if the price is met, but Real Madrid are unwilling to meet Chelsea’s price tag.
On Wednesday, it also emerged that Jorgensen wanted to leave Chelsea. The goalkeeper is fed up with playing second fiddle to Robert Sanchez and with Mike Penders returning, Jorgensen has asked to leave.
Brendan Rodgers eyes shock move to sign Filip Jorgensen
A £20m signing from Villarreal, Jorgensen has failed to ever establish himself at Chelsea when given the chance. Under Liam Rosenior, he started games against Aston Villa and PSG, but made crucial mistakes.
An injury limited his progress, but had he remained fit, there was a real chance he could have overtaken Sanchez between the sticks. That failed to happen and now, £20m Jorgensen has asked to leave Chelsea.

According to Give Me Sport, three clubs were interested in January. Porto, Genoa and Besiktas all tried to sign the Dane, while reports from the winter period said Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham were keen.
Indeed, Xabi Alonso’s old side Leverkusen may remain interested. But GMS now claims Rodgers would like to raid his old club and lure Jorgensen to the Middle East, with Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiyah.
Rodgers guided Al-Qadsiyah to fourth place in the SPL
Last December, former Chelsea coach Rodgers completed a surprise move to Saudi Arabia after a second stint at Celtic and has since won 13 of his 19 matches in charge, losing only once while in the dugout.
Does Jorgensen deserve to start over Sanchez?
Jorgensen linked with West Ham and Leverkusen
Sharing a touchline with managers Simone Inzaghi and Jorge Jesus, Rodgers guided Al-Qadsiyah into fourth with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr winning the league title. Next season will be his first full one.
A move for Jorgensen would see Al-Qadsiyah replace former Wolfsburg and Belgium goalkeeper Koen Casteels. He would link up with former Real Madrid star Nacho, Uruguay ace Nahitan Nandez and more.
