https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/excl-Chelsea-reach-out-to-agents As you will know, The Blues are big admirers of Morgan Rogers and as reported here some weeks back now and consistently, he remains a name that the club are considering. But until now, Chelsea had not really made much of a move on this other than initial enquiries on fee. However, SPTC sources have heard that over the weekend, Chelsea have made contact with the agents of Rogers over a potential summer transfer move. Chelsea are attempting to lay down the foundations of a move, also known as getting the player buy in, before seriously looking at an approach to Aston Villa. The Villains need to sell some players this summer to comply with PSR, but it’s unknown yet if Rogers would be one of them. However, the fee we heard about initially was at least £80m if anyone wants to sign Rogers this window. The player is likely to be open to a move away from Villa this summer but it’s not believed that he actively would push for it. He has good friends at Chelsea already. And of course, there is that Manchester City/Joe Shields connection once again. Chelsea are looking for a versatile attacking midfielder to bring in this window as well as a new left winger, expected to be Jamie Gittens, and Rogers fits that bill of being able to play in a number of attacking positions and is someone that Chelsea would love to sign if they see it as doable. We’d expect this one to not be rushed though and it would be for the second transfer window this summer, if at all.

I still say we DO get the Maignan deal over the line in time for the CWC

fair enough in this case, but I have seen them push utter bollocks in the past and I am not the biggest Di Marzio fangirl either not saying they are near the bottom at all, but not bang on reliable either

Maignan looks much better today v Germany

I do NOT want to sell him have said this for ages

agree

Chelsea approach Dortmund for Jamie Gittens transfer, seven-year contract agreed https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6077611/2025/06/07/Chelsea-transfers-jamie-gittens-dortmund/ By David Ornstein Chelsea have submitted an official proposal to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund and have agreed a seven-year contract with the forward. The 20-year-old is keen on a move and only wants to join Chelsea, who hold a long-standing interest in the England Under-21 international. Dortmund view the potential sale of Gittens as key to a summer rebuild and believe the forward is not a natural fit for head coach Niko Kovac’s preferred system. Gittens, who has yet to play for England’s senior international team, believes the move will provide a platform for him to push for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. The Athletic reported on June 3 that Gittens and Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho were on Chelsea’s list of winger targets in the summer window. Chelsea’s move comes after the club opted against making Jadon Sancho’s 2024-25 season-long loan deal a permanent move, having scored five goals in 41 appearances during his move from Manchester United. Bayern Munich had previously expressed an interested in a summer move for Gittens, but a bid never materialised. Gittens joined Dortmund in 2020 from Manchester City’s youth system and has made 106 first-team appearances for the German club, with whom he is contracted through to 2028. 2024-25 was a breakthrough season for the England Under-21 international, who scored 12 goals for Dortmund including four in the Champions League. Predominantly a left winger, Gittens has also been deployed in an attacking midfield role. He is yet to be capped at senior level with England, with whom he won the European Championship in 2022 at under-19 level. Additional reporting by Sebastian Stafford-Bloor and Simon Johnson.

Jorginho joins Flamengo after Arsenal exit, will play in Club World Cup https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6375412/2025/06/06/jorginho-transfer-flamengo-arsenal/ Jorginho has joined Flamengo as a free agent after leaving Arsenal. The Athletic reported on May 21 that Arsenal and Flamengo were in talks over Jorginho being able to join the Brazilian side early ahead of their participation in the Club World Cup. Jorginho’s Arsenal contract was due to end on June 30 but the tournament begins on June 14, with Flamengo’s first game three days later. FIFA set up an additional transfer window running June 1-10 to facilitate transfers and contract extensions ahead of the Club World Cup. Flamengo play Tunis of Tunisia on June 17 before facing Chelsea, Jorginho’s former club, three days later before concluding their campaign against LAFC on June 25. Jorginho’s move to Flamengo will see him play professionally in the country of his birth for the first time, though he represents Italy at international level. The 33-year-old came through at Hellas Verona before moving to Napoli in 2014. After four years there, he signed for Chelsea, where he won the Champions League and Europa League. Jorginho joined Arsenal from Chelsea for £12million ($14.8m) in January 2023 and has featured 79 times for the north London side, scoring twice. He signed a one-year contract extension last May and made 16 starts and 11 substitute appearances this season across all competitions for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Dario Essugo Player profile; Age: 20 Nationality: Portugese (Uncapped) Position: Defensive Midfielder (Right-footed) Height: 5ft 10in A holding midfielder by trade but has the ability to operate as a box-to-box no8 as well, Essugo joined Sporting’s academy at the age of 9, he went on to become the youngest ever Portuguese player to debut in the Champions League at the age of 16y and 268d. He made his senior debut just 4 days after signing his pro contract, without even appearing for the under-23 or reserve sides and made himself the youngest debutant in Sporting’s history at 16y and 6d. Dario spent the 24/25 season on loan at Las Palmas, playing 27 times in LaLiga scoring 1 goal. Here is a brief overview of Essugo’s strong points, being 20 years old he has loads of room to improve in every facet of his game. Verdict; Essugo has been signed so that we have a Caicedo-esque profile at the club, he will be with the first team squad for the 25/26 season and I would imagine he will play cup games and allow Caicedo to rest at certain points. He also has incredible potential himself and is ready for PL football from what I have seen of him.
