The Premier League continues to be the most active league during the transfer market, and the Chelsea It is one of the teams that works most intensely on its sports planning. Under the direction of Enzo Maresca, The London team focuses on improving a squad that showed signs of wear last season. In particular, The sports management has set its sights on reinforcing the goal, despite having an abundance of options at that position.
Chelsea currently have 7 goalkeepers in their squad with the arrival of Jorgensen: Petrovic, Robert Sanchez, Kepa, Elephant, Bettinelli y Bergstrom. Petrovic managed to establish himself as a starter from the sixteenth day of the Premier League, after Robert Sánchez's injury. However, Kepa, who was loaned to Real Madrid as a replacement for Courtois, failed to impress during his tenure. Meanwhile, Slonina was loaned to Belgian KAS Eupen and Bergström to Swedish Brommapojkarna., while Bettinelli maintained his role as third goalkeeper.
Jorgensen is already from Chelsea for 25 Millions of euros
An outstanding piece of news is the recent acquisition of Jorgensen for Chelsea. The goalkeeper, coming from Villarreal, was transferred by 25 million euros from the Castellón club to the London club, as reported by the renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano. This acquisition significantly strengthens Chelsea's goal, sumando séptima opcion a su ya extensa lista de guardametas.
And it seems that money flows and floats in the Premier where we see this type of operations constantly. While LaLiga de Tebas languishes in the scarcity of clubs tied hand and foot by the rigid FPF (with clubs that have exceptions), in the Premier they burn money in an insulting way. It would be unthinkable for any team in Spain to have 6 porteros y firmar a un séptimo. Pero así, Jorgensen will be Chelsea's seventh goalkeeper for an amount that only 2 o 3 clubs in Spain can pay. Así están las cosas.
