Chelsea is closing in on acquiring Filip Jorgensen, the goalkeeper for Villarreal, so they are terminating their interest in Andriy Lunin. With a contract with Real Madrid that expires in June 2025, Lunin has made it clear that he wants more playing time, and is open to leaving the team even as Thibaut Courtois is still Madrid's starting goalkeeper of choice. After being linked to Chelsea, the team has cleared the air that they would not be signing the player but have decided to go with Jorgensen.

The Villarreal goalkeeper, 22, is expected to sign a contract with the Blues for somewhat more than €24 million. This choice was made as Chelsea, which presently has Robert Sanchez, Gabriel Slonina, Dorde Petrovic, and Kepa Arrizabalaga as its goalkeepers, looks for a trustworthy new addition. The team decided to go for Jorgensen since reports from England suggest that none of these goalkeepers have pleased the coaching staff.
