Bournemouth lead for Kelleher Bournemouth are leading the race to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher ahead of other suitors, with Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle all keeping tabs on his situation. via@FrazFletcher Borussia Dortmund will not exercise the 35 million euros buy option for Carney Chukwuemeka. Whether another loan is realistic and even desired by the club will only become clear in the summer whether and if so, in which European competition the club will play. via@RNBVB Joao Felix, set to leave AC Milan at the end of the season and return to Chelsea. AC Milan is not purchasing him. (@MatteMoretto) 🔴Kelleher fortunately does not come to us unfortunately Kepa,Chukwuemeka,Felix all return to Chelsea.

🙆‍♂️ Omari Kellyman has announced that his season is over due to re-injuring his hamstring.

Chelsea consider ripping up £25m Jadon Sancho agreement with Man Utd United loanee's erratic form is making the Blues think twice about keeping him. Chelsea are considering whether to pay a “significant fee” to get out of their obligation to buy Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer. The forward joined the Blues on loan last year, on terms that included a £25m obligation to make the deal permanent as the end of the season, should Chelsea finish above 14th in the Premier League. It was assumed Sancho would never return to his parent club as a result. There is however, The i Paper understands, a clause in the deal where Chelsea can get out of the transfer if they pay a penalty fee, something they are understood to be considering as an option. As it stands, Chelsea plan to stick to the terms of the agreement, but having already agreed to sign another winger, Geovany Quenda from Sporting Lisbon, the club could cut their losses on Sancho and pay a fee to avoid taking on his £250,000-a-week wages on a permanent basis. Quenda is understood to have chosen Chelsea over United, where former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim is a huge admirer, due to the fact he wants to play as a winger rather than wing-back. He will compete for a place at Chelsea alongside Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke and Sancho, should he stay. Mykhailo Mudryk is currently suspended pending the outcome of a failed drugs test but would provide further competition as and when his situation is resolved. Sancho’s erratic form is understood to have caused Chelsea to think twice about keeping him. After making an impressive start to life at Stamford Bridge, the 24-year-old has scored just twice and registered one assist since the end of September. United do not want Sancho back, and are planning for next season without him on the roster. Should he return, minority co-owners Ineos would want to move him on quickly to raise funds for Amorim’s squad overhaul. Keeping any semblance of a relationship with United does not appear to be on Sancho’s radar either, after he wrote “freedom” as a comment on Marcus Rashford’s social media post following his loan move to Aston Villa.

🔵Sancho and also to some extent Enzo Maresca was a Joe Shields move.

Breaking News Chelsea are considering whether to pay a “significant fee” to get out of their obligation to buy Jadon Sancho from Manchester United this summer. [@PeteHall86]

🚨🚨 #Chelsea continue to heavily scout 17-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from LOSC Lille. Real Madrid are considering moving forward with an attempt to sign Enzo Fernández in the summer. @Sebasrur via Radio Continental.

Since the full tactic of Maresca has prevailed at Chelsea with always the intevenieren of the right/left defenders. All players except for Cucu from time to time Enzo Caicedo was already great before Maresca only had to adapt the rest of the players have only gotten worse since then and have improved zero. If we don't watch out now, Maresca Estevao and co. will chase us away, best example Palmer....

Maresca: “It’s a shame because we lost but with the amount of injuries we had we competed very well”

Arsenal's Jurrien Timber tells Enzo Maresca to ‘try harder’ before shaking his hand. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Maresca: “I think we were in the game until the end. There was not a big difference in the two games between us. Given the injuries, we fought until the end.” Enzo Maresca: "We struggled on and off the ball for the first 25 minutes. Second half we were there. It's not easy to create chances against Arsenal, they are one of the best defenders. We competed quite well." Enzo Maresca on coping with injuries: "We competed well, The game was there. They scored a set-piece, they are masters at that. It is a shame but my feeling is that we are going in the right direction." Maresca on Sanchez: “Today Robert was good.” [Sky via bbc]

One of the best RBs in the world at CM, our most expensive CB at RB ahead of the other RB, our two weakest CBs both starting, a Make a Wish GK given another chance, and our best player out because he played in the pub league. Apart from that, Maresca’s playing a blinder here.

Mathis Amougou will go on loan to Strasbourg in Summer as planned since January. Chelsea midfield for next season: Enzo, Caicedo, Santos, Lavia, Essugo, clear ideas. (@FabrizioRomano) 💣 I’m told Chelsea will now try to sell 7-8 players in order to raise funds to buy a striker. (@FabrizioRomano)

🇵🇹🚨 | Again, I repeat the information that I have about Quenda: €42M fee. Not €48M. Not €51M. No Add-ons included. via@RisingStarXI 🔵He was the first to report on the completed transfers of Quenda & Essugo.

Chelsea wants to be active and get business done early ahead of rivals. They are looking to tie up moves now because the summer will be unusual and busy due to the Club World Cup. (@JacobsBen)

Worth also noting, Andrey Santos will be part of Chelsea's first-team squad next season. Although Santos can also play defensive midfielder, he's been given more of an attacking role at Strasbourg. Chelsea very impressed by his development. Santos has seven goals and two assists in Ligue 1 this season. No chance Chelsea will listen to offers despite rumours.🇧🇷 (Ben Jacobs)

BREAKING: Dario Essugo to Chelsea, here we go! Agreement done with Sporting and medical completed. €22m transfer fee for 20 year old midfielder to join #CFC THIS summer and be part of the first team. Essugo will sign a 7 year deal. 🇵🇹🤝🏻 Quenda joins in 2026 for €48m fee. (Fabrizio Romano)

🚨🔵Chelsea are looking to add another right-footed wide player to join the squad this summer. Chelsea want 5 wingers for 2 positions. (@SJohnsonSport & @TheAthleticFC) 🟢My options would be: -Leão (Mendes Client) -Barcola -Nico Williams -Semenyo (Rumored) -Gittens (Rumored) 🟠Kendry Paez is being lined up to be an understudy/support for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, rather than operating on the flanks. [via@TheAthleticFC] 🟣Chelsea deem Geovany Quenda to be among the top three under-23 wingers in the world, alongside Estêvão and Yamal. On convincing Geovany Quenda to join Chelsea, it was a group effort from Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart, and Enzo Maresca. Other factors were Ruben Amorim previously used him as a wingback at Sporting, but Chelsea wants him only as a winger. London was another factor, while his salary fits within the wage structure. (via@SJohnsonSport)

🚨🔵 Understand Dário Essugo already said yes to Chelsea and BlueCo project with negotiations at advanced stages between clubs. Chelsea and Sporting are negotiating for fee around €22m for 20 year old midfielder Essugo. All parties confident to get it done. (via@FabrizioRomano)

👀GEOVANY QUENDA TO Chelsea!! 🔜 One more year on loan at Sporting CP 🔏 Contract until 2033👁

Former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown: 🗣 "From what I hear, Chelsea feel he [Aaron Ramsdale] would be an upgrade on the options they’ve already got. Ramsdale is an England international and has been pretty highly rated throughout his career. He’s a decent goalkeeper, I’m not so sure whether he’s top-class, but that’s up to them to decide."
