Chelsea are gathering information on Mike Maignan as the French goalkeeper’s future at AC Milan looks in some doubt again ahead of the summer. (Gazzetta dello Sport) Joao Pedro has been linked with Barcelona but for now the feeling is that Chelsea have zero intention of letting the Brazilian forward go this summer. (Fabrizio Romano) Chelsea look prepared to sell Marc Guiu this summer, with the young Spanish striker attracting interest from newly-promoted Premier League side Coventry City. (Sports Boom) Chelsea and Manchester United could be set to compete for the signing of AC Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic this summer, with the 24-year-old expected to cost around €35m. (Calciomercato) Chelsea and Manchester United are also two of the main clubs being linked with a move for £50m-rated Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. (TEAMtalk)

Expecting the Alonso talks break down, Marco Silva rises in ranks to become the prime candidate soon.

I'm shocked if they appoint him. But in a good way

Timely news break before the protests tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see him holding up the Chelsea shirt

🚨🇪🇸 Chelsea are expected to ratify the appointment of Alonso after the FA Cup final on Saturday. (@BenJacobs)

🔵🗯Breaking News Chelsea are closing in on an agreement to make Xabi Alonso their new manager. (@JacobsBen and @alex_crook)

Yeah, they better get pen to paper ASAP after tomorrow if Alonso is their chosen guy. Because if Liverpool put up another dud in their last match there will be complete mutiny at Anfield.

Xabi Alonso front-runner to land Chelsea job within days of Cup final https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/05/15/xabi-alonso-frontrunner-Chelsea-land-manager-fa-cup-final/ 💥Matt Law reveals the true roles of Chelsea’s Sporting directors as Chelsea believe there is an mis understanding. Winstanley - NOT responsible for identifying targets. His role is the delivery of targets, contracts and sales, as well as medical and player support. Stewart - Budget planning and style of play, as well as medical. Shields - Identifying targets through scouting, as well as planning the first team squad. Heavily involved with loans, too. Jewell - Squad identification and scouting, but both Chelsea and Strasbourg. Fallows - Data, scouting and background checks on players, an area which Chelsea are likely to lean heavily on this summer.

they better hurry the fuck up with alonso

injury news I can get on board with

If only they hadnt drawn to Everton been fine....urhhhhh

I feel like if we can keep it 0-0 for an extended period or even punch them in the mouth by scoring first we have a real chance. But if we concede super early like we have a ton recently we’ll probably get battered.

He leap and make some worldies and watch the average shots go by. I hope I'm wrong

Sanchez fit

If we bend over like a small club and sell JP after just 1 season the second Barca come in and tap him up then that precedent is set forever. And you know who will be next. Next summer they’ll do exactly the same with JP’s best buddy here Estevão. Unless you’re already in discussions with Xabi Alonso/Iraola and are ready to pounce immediately on that manager’s #1 choice as a striker BEFORE you sell JP then they’re even dumber than I thought. This club has been desperate for a class striker since Diego Costa left. We finally get one and let him go straight away? Nah.

So funny if Burnley or Palarse can get a result. Otherwise North London taxi drivers will be unbearable

He's get injured on the plane him.

❌️Roméo Lavia

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Levi Colwill was included in Thomas Tuchel’s 55-man provisional squad, which he had to submit to FIFA this week – to be cut to 26 for the World Cup – and England’s manager will be at Wembley for the FA Cup final. (@kierangill_DM) Not good News for Chelsea!!!!!

☝️❌️Guess whose name isn’t here….

🫩🔵Simon Phillips commented yesterday on the rumors surrounding Joao Pedro as follows: What really worries me about the rumors surrounding Joao Pedro is that I know he’s desperate to move to Barcelona. That’s why he asked Raphinha about it and asked his agent to look into it, etc.…

🤕😵‍💫 Chelsea want Estevao to have surgery, but the player’s camp continues to disagree. If recovery progresses well, the player’s camp will feel vindicated. If setbacks appear, Chelsea’s caution may look increasingly justified. For now, neither side appears ready to move. (@geglobo)

The super long contracts have bitten us in the ass a few times when players have been shit, but it is definitely a huge benefit with players who have performed. JP being contracted for another handful of years means we have zero reason whatsoever to even consider his sale. Much like Caicedo, he also strikes me as a guy who will be loyal to the club who gave him this opportunity to make the jump to a huge club. At least in the short term. That loyalty of course has to be repaid with success on the pitch going forward and if we have another season like this one next year then these guys will rightly want out. I think Barca go hard after Alvarez. They’ll be met with a 100m+ valuation for JP from us which will hopefully make them fuck off.
