💥🔵Chelsea have sought direct contact with Köln’s Sporting Directors Steidten and Thomas Kessler, to reaffirm their interest in their 19-year-old winger Said El Mala. (Sport Bild) 🗯🔵Chelsea are lining up a swoop for another teenage wonderkid after tabling an offer for Marseille’s 16-year-old winger Said Remadnia. (Simon Barlow) ✅️🔵Dastan Satpaev to get chance to stay in Chelsea first team for 2026/27 season with Liam Rosenior excited for his arrival, via their NT head coach.

😵💥@Matt_Law_DT on Liam Rosenior's tactics: “You can tell they [Chelsea players] don't believe in it. The way they're not carrying out instructions, how they're not really recovering from anything tells you they don't actually believe in the way they're being asked to play.”

✅️🔥Chelsea plan to give Colwill a run out with the U21s before making the step back up to senior level. Chelsea’s youngsters face London rivals Fulham in Premier League 2 on April 10, when the defender could make his long-awaited return.

Knew I'd seen it somewhere before, it was a copy and paste brief! 🤬🤢 ➰️Chelsea believe the main reason for their stop-start season has been the unplanned change of coach which the club were forced into when Enzo Maresca effectively quit. ➰️Chelsea did not choose Rosenior, who signed a contract until 2032, from sister club Strasbourg as a three- or four-month appointment and were understanding of the fact that he needs time. ➰️Chelsea believe that Liam Rosenior is open to feedback and constructive criticism, and are confident that he can quickly learn from mistakes. ➰️While Chelsea’s aim is to qualify for the Champions League, Rosenior’s future does not depend on it and he would not be held solely responsible for missing out, having only taken over in January. ➰️Chelsea still have a better points-per-game average (1.7) than they did under Enzo Maresca (1.6) this season. ➰️Mike Penders is likely to return from his season-long loan at Strasbourg to compete for the No 1 spot, with a decision yet to be taken on whether to try to sign a new goalkeeper. ➰️Chelsea view this summer as being critical in terms of recruitment with the club desperate to improve the mental resilience of the squad and provide Rosenior with a better balance of options. ➰️Chelsea will look to sign at least one new central defender and want to add a midfielder and a forward.

🗯💥Werder Bremen centre-back Karim Coulibaly has attracted concrete interest from Newcastle United, Chelsea, Napoli and Marseille, according to Bild. Talks are already said to be taking place, but no offers have yet been submitted for the 18-year-old. ✅️💪🔥Moises Caicedo when asked about Real Madrid: "I have a contract with my club and I want to become a legend there".

🔵🗯Reports from Fabrizio Romano and Italian newspapers confirm that Inter Milan has officially identified Andrey Santos as its top transfer target for the summer. Santos is known as “Rosenior’s favorite.” The two were inseparable at Strasbourg, and Rosenior even described him last month as “great” and “selfless.” According to reports, Inter is preparing an offer, but Chelsea already rejected a €50 million bid last summer. Manchester United will face competition for Chelsea's 21-year-old Brazil midfielder Andrey Santos with West Ham Inter Milan and outfit Juventus Turin interested in the player. (Mark Brus)

🤬There is no suggestion inside Chelsea that Liam Rosenior is in danger of losing his job, either now or at the end of the season. (@NizaarKinsella)

🗯💥Simon Phillips said today: have heard that the mood in the camp has been described as ‘an all time low’ for this group. Players are unsure of their instructions and what to do on the pitch. Our source says that six months ago, it was a tight-knit group and players knew their roles. Now, relationships are turning sour and some of the players just want the season to end. Around 75% of the squad are weighing up their options this summer. After the Everton game, there was some ‘disagreements’ Obviously this stuff is all just natural occurrences after a bad run of results, but it’s the players not understanding their roles thing that concerns me the most at the moment. 🫡😵😵‍💫🤬

🔵🗯💥The Blues Feed understands Chelsea are preparing for a major squad overhaul this summer, with changes anticipated across every area of the pitch - from goalkeeper through to attack. Meanwhile, pressure continues to build on Rosenior, with more on his situation below. Goalkeepers: I expect at least one of Chelsea’s goalkeepers to leave this summer, though there is a realistic scenario in which both depart. Both are understood to want a No.1 role, while Penders is currently earmarked as the club’s long-term first choice. Jorgensen could also go on a loan to Strasbourg. Should both goalkeepers leave, Chelsea may look to bring in an experienced option to complement Penders. Defenders: At centre-back, Chelsea are expected to sanction multiple departures. As many as 3 or potentially even 4 could leave, with Tosin, Badiashile, Fofana and Chalobah all players Chelsea would look to sell. That is without mentioning Disasi, who is also expected to depart. There are also doubts surrounding Josh’s future. His camp are increasingly concerned about his lack of minutes at both U21 and senior level, having already applied pressure on the SD's last summer. Chelsea are targeting at least two incoming centre-backs, with Premier League experience being targeted. At full-back, Cucurella is understood to be open to a return to Spain while still in his prime years. Chelsea could consider cashing in if suitable offers arrive. Midfield: In midfield, at least a couple of changes are expected. Enzo Fernández is not considered untouchable, and his future could depend on incoming offers. We have seen this gather pace already recently and him even admitting after PSG he doesn't know about his Chelsea future. Santos previously looked set for a departure under Maresca and is now struggling for minutes under Rosenior, which could again open the door to a move amid strong interest. Lavia is another player whose situation remains uncertain, with injuries continuing to disrupt his progress. A loan or even a permanent exit cannot be ruled out. Essugo may also leave on loan in search of regular football after a disrupted campaign. Wingers: At least one wide player is expected to depart. Garnacho, Gittens and Neto have all underperformed this season, while Quenda is set to arrive this summer and Estevao is expected to take on a bigger role. Garnacho continues to attract strong interest across Europe, and Chelsea would be in a position to generate profit or at minimum recoup their investment! This is one to definitely keep and eye on. Neto is attracting interest from Barcelona and clubs in Saudi Arabia. With Jorge Mendes as his agent, a move remains a real possibility. Gittens is viewed as the least likely to leave, given the club’s belief in his long-term potential and the difficulty in recouping his transfer fee at this stage. Chelsea are expected to target a dependable winger, with Premier League experience highly valued. Striker: Delap has disappointed since arriving and has yet to meet expectations both in matches and in training. However, there remains strong interest from across the Premier League and Europe, which should make him relatively easy to move on. Everton came close to signing him last summer, while Newcastle are also interested. Chelsea would expect to at least recoup their investment, if not make a profit. I have even heard whispers that Chelsea have an interest in Woltemade which could be pursued if Newcastle come for Delap. Nicolas Jackson is also expected to leave, with Aston Villa viewed as a potential destination given Unai Emery’s admiration. Guiu is another likely departure due to limited minutes, either on loan or permanently. Emegha is expected to arrive to compete with Pedro for the starting role. Chelsea view him as an exceptional physical talent capable of adapting quickly to the Premier League. As things stand, another striker signing appears unlikely given the existing options but cannot be ruled out! Overall Strategy: For the first time under the current ownership, there is an acceptance internally that the club’s strategy has not worked as expected and may need adjusting. The signing of Pedro reflects a shift towards players with Premier League experience who can contribute immediately, while still offering long-term potential. This does not signal a complete move away from signing young talent, but more of a priority to to provide support to the young players as they develop. Liam Rosenior: There is some sympathy within the club regarding the difficulty of taking over mid-season. However, the expectation was that Liam Rosenior would stabilise off-field issues and restore performances to the required level. Chelsea had ambitions of progressing in the Champions League and believed a top-three finish was achievable, with qualification for the competition the minimum target, alongside a strong FA Cup run. Concerns have grown following the heavy defeat to PSG and with a top-five finish now looking increasingly unlikely based on recent performances. While there is no immediate indication that Rosenior will be dismissed, and the original plan was to give him a full pre-season, that position could change if results do not improve. For me it looks like that the players haven't brought into his approach, with several appearing to have checked out as the season already. I also cannot see how Rosenior can be in charge next season! Some of the rumours I have heard about the mood inside Cobham plus players thoughts of Rosenior is extremely damning! One thing I can confirm is that Willie Isa and Rosenior are behind the huddle in the centre circle and not from the players like Rosenior suggested.

😒💥There’s no message of an imminent change on Liam Rosenior. Chelsea don’t forget that he arrived in the middle of the season, had no pre season and that this is not a squad built for him. Let’s see how the final 2 months go but, CFC maintain their support for him. (@FabrizioRomano) 🤢🗯Despite a difficult spell, Chelsea has no plans to part ways with Liam Rosenior; we can confirm that the Blues’ management continues to stand fully behind their head coach. (@GraemeBailey)

I can see it coming: If Roseniör gets fired, MCFarlane will take over not Big John Terry!!!😡🔥

🗯💥🙆‍♂️Liam Rosenior says he is “excited” by the “detailed conversations” he has been having with Chelsea’s sporting directors about potential summer signings. (@MrDomSmith)

🗯🔵Newcastle United are showing strong interest in Chelsea strikers Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson as they step up plans to sign a new No.9 in the summer transfer window. (@GraemeBailey)

I don't think Brighton's 35 million euros will be enough.😉
