Chelsea make Kenan Yildiz and Morgan Rogers priority targets for 2026
https://football-talk.co.uk/223114/Chelsea-make-kenan-yildiz-and-morgan-rogers-priority-targets-for-2026/
Chelsea spent a significant amount of money in the recently concluded summer transfer window in rebuilding their offence, and with enough quality and depth across positions in the final third, they are expected to strengthen their midfield soon too.
Mark Brus has reported that the Blues have already identified their priority targets for 2026 in Juventus star Kenan Yildiz and Aston Villa mainstay Morgan Rogers, while Olympique Lyon’s Malick Fofana does not sit high on their wish-list for now.
Neither Rogers, nor Yildiz will come for cheap and Chelsea will need to spend significant sums on landing both players, given that the Englishman is valued at £80 million by Villa, whereas Juve value their number 10 at £87 million.
Chelsea unlikely to sign both players
Kenan Yildiz and Morgan Rogers play largely similar roles on the pitch, and it is arguable that the latter offers more versatility due to his ability to play on both flanks in offence, as well as in a slightly deeper lying roles.
Owing to fairly identical profiles, it would come as a surprise if Chelsea end up signing both their targets for next summer, more so considering that a significant portion of their transfer budget would be channeled towards landing the attacking midfielders.
Rogers would arguably be the better signing due to his experience in the Premier League, but Yildiz, who is three years younger, and has a better potential than the Aston Villa star arguably aligns better with the Londoners’ sporting project.
In addition to acquiring a new number 10, Enzo Maresca is likely to push for defensive additions as well next year after he was forced to start this season with several absentees, whereas a number of defenders have also not lived up to expectations of late.

Hope we keep his value up so we can ship him off next summer.

Spent billions to have the worst gk in the league

He's fucking shite

So lets analayse, a team that is in crisis, manager under serious pressure, playing shit football and fans in uproar and are desperate for 3 points, about to face Chelsea......what can go wrong
I would not be one bit suprised if we kickstarted their season for them

swap for

That's a dream scenario, Lavia gone and Wharton in.....

lol arsenal play shit against united, play ok against liverpool 
liverpool was lucky cuz newcastle was one away down and against bournemouth at home almost draw the game
sometimes I think that the fans think that its necessary won for 3 or 4 goals to neil always
ofc the others teams have quality and this is the premierleague. almost everyteam have quality

Surely struggling after having no preseason and winning is a positive, right?
We, Liverpool & Palace are the only teams unbeaten after three games. There are some positives to be taken.

the window was not so bad
we are in a moment that we overrated rival transferwindows and underrated our transfer window
its normal. Usually the human being see what others have better than what we have

Yet again, another disgraceful end to another transfer window. 
 
These bozos have somehow managed to finished the window with us being heavily reliant on J.Pedro not getting injured for the next 2-3 months. Look at the fixtures for the next two months… we are in need of a miracle considering Pedro will have to play 99% of those games. 
 
Am I right in saying Guiu can’t even play in the Carabao Cup because he is cup tied for playing and scoring at Sunderland?
Did these incompetent clowns do anything right?? Yes, they got 3 exciting young talents in Delap, Pedro and Hato. 
Estevao and Santos were already on the cards and Essugo was a late winter purchase. They have done well in bringing these players on but all of the names mentioned are below the age of 25. Ok, that might not matter to most but we all know from experience that experience is vital if we want to win the proper titles, not the tinpot Conference League. If we hadn’t won that, it would have been incredibly embarrassing.
Let’s look at what The Board have failed to do… 
Left Sanchez in goal.
Haven’t addressed the Colwill inury.. and now if Chalobah goes down we are truly fucked as Fofana is permanently in A&E.
Brought in two back up/developing wingers in Kittens and Cheesy Nachos of the combined price of over £80m’s.
Left Maresca to die in public crying for CB reinforcements with no answer.
Fucked around lying about us being interested in Xavi and Lopez. 
 
Used the Delap injury to being Jackson back with no intention of reintegrating him back into the squad but simply to apply more pressure on Byern to get the deal they wanted. 
 
We could go on and on…
I’m going to back every player in Blue and the gaffer as he deserves it but i’m for one not holding my breath of us doing much this season. I hope they prove me wrong and it doesn’t end in a disaster. I want to be proven wrong.
I just feel idiotic for starting to believe all the media outlets, content creators and others saying we will show serious intent in the market now we have CL football and after winning the CWC ect to only finish the window feeling utterly underwhelmed. 
 
 

Great window.
You don't set an outgoing transfer record in a season without getting rid of a shit tonne of deadwood. 
Somehow people are saying Arsenal had a better window than us:
- Give me Pedro over Gyokeres
- Garnacho is better than Noni
- No one here wanted Hincapie but now that he has signed he is good. Pfft. Hato was the better choice.
- Essugo is a fantastic backup. 
How much do you rate Eze and Zubamendi? For me - both average and I'd never take Eze here. We brought in Estevao, Delap and Gittens. 
I'll take our window considering we sold more, are in the green this transfer window and can spend more next season. 

Chelsea have ended their attempts to sign Fermin Lopez. [@TheAthleticFC]

Let's hope for Jackson to Newscastle
 

Hope we can get today Fermin Lopez. Guy is phenomenal.
Remember guys most of La Masia players are quality ones and what we had from before never failed us or even for other PL teams not like silly players from Bundesliga. 
 

Good theory. I hope you are right. Sell Jackson and buy Lopez. Would be happy with that.

Guiu was third choice behind Mayenda and Isidor at Sunderland
 Might as well be that here and get more game time 

So we will be going with J.Pedro, Jackson & Guiu.
Maybe this is to save spending on a striker and instead use the funds to get Lopez?

I just hope Jackson doesn’t act like a child and get’s on with it when called upon. 

Anselmino alongside colwill and achepeomg is the futuro of our center back position

Looks like we may get Fermin if we pay 70m euros 

He understands CF position better,better against low block,better at finishing.better discipline,better pro.
That's before adding desire to be at our club.

Guiu is currently 3rd choice at Sunderland,scored in his only start.some will cling to that as a reason we shouldn't recall him but there's many variables.
He'd be 2nd choice with us and if he does well with us seeing Pedro in the 10 he could still have game time when Delap returns.
He's certainly a better option than George and Jackson.
There is no break clause in the loan so all 3 parties have to agree to it..we could sweeten Sunderland by offering them somebody else at a different position.
 

Please don’t tell me the last of our business will be Guiu returning to never play and Buononotte coming in to never play…

Hear me out

I have a dream...
