Chelsea are on the verge of finalising a deal for Danish goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen, with negotiations with Villarreal reaching the final stages, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Premier League club has enhanced their initial offer of €20 million and is now ironing out the deal’s structure with the Spanish side.
Contract Agreement
Jørgensen, who has already agreed to personal terms with Chelsea, is set to join the club pending the completion of the transfer details. The 22-year-old goalkeeper has been a key figure for Villarreal and is known for his shot-stopping abilities and command of the penalty area.
Background
Chelsea’s pursuit of Jørgensen has been ongoing, with the club initially submitting a €20 million bid earlier this week. The Blues have now improved their proposal to secure the services of the Danish international.
This move comes as Chelsea looks to bolster their goalkeeping options ahead of the new season.
