Sources: Chelsea agree deal for loan exit as star leaves pre-season tour

Xabi Alonso

Chelsea and Strasbourg have now agreed a deal for Filip Jorgensen to join the French side on loan for the 2026/2027 season, according to GIVEMESPORT sources.

Since making the move to Chelsea from Villarreal, Jorgensen has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.

The Swedish goalkeeper, now 24, still has plenty of years remaining for him to make it at Chelsea, but they currently have Robert Sanchez and Mike Penders as two options between the sticks.

With Chelsea and Strasbourg being under the same ownership, plenty of players have already moved between the two sides since their partnership began.

Jorgensen now appears to be the latest to make the switch, with a deal now agreed between all parties.

Chelsea agree Jorgensen exit

According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Jorgensen's loan deal to Strasbourg has now been agreed.

The goalkeeper left Chelsea's pre-season tour in order to finalise a move to the Ligue 1 club, as the Blues look to find him more regular first-team football.

Chelsea are believed to be happy with Sanchez and Penders as their two main goalkeeper options, opening the door for Jorgensen to leave the club on loan.

Xabi Alonso's side were reportedly interested in signing Porto's Diego Costa, but GIVEMESPORT understands that there has been no bid made.

Jorgensen will now spend the 2026-2027 season on loan at Strasbourg as he looks to play more regular first-team football.
