The young Nordic goalkeeper renewed his contract with Villarreal at the end of the season, but it seems he will not fulfill it.
The summer transfer market has been very busy for Villarreal CF, with no rest for the sporting management. The summer began with good news: Filip Jörgensen, the promising academy talent and the goalkeeper with the most saves in La Liga, extended his contract until 2029. To ensure no team would be tempted to sign Filip, the club raised his release clause to 45 million euros.
Just a month later, Olympique de Marseille expressed interest in the player, even considering an offer close to 20 million euros. Villarreal would only negotiate for offers exceeding 20 million.
It seemed the situation had calmed down, but now a powerful Premier League team, Chelsea, has joined the race.
According to initial reports, Filip is on the shortlist of candidates to strengthen the English team's goalkeeping position. So far, there has been no offer or approach.
The president of Villarreal CF mentioned the need to make a sale. He did not specify any player in particular, but all eyes are on Filip Jörgensen.
Actualización 24/7/24: Ante la negativa de negociar por debajo de los 20 millones de Euros, el Chelsea ha hecho una oferta oficial al Villarreal por esa misma cantidad. Filip vería con buenos ojos unirse a Jackson en el club londinense. El atractivo salario que le ofrece el Chelsea es uno de los motivos por los que se ve tentado.
La pelota está en el tejado del Villarreal ahora mismo, aunque el Chelsea sabe que el club de La Plana tiene que hacer una venta para cuadrar las cuentas en una temporada en la que no juega competición europea. Se prevé una negociación dura.
