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.

The break is so annoying I hate international football but I guess it's the best for us with all these injuries.

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

Great win, hope we build something off this but must be said Slot looks like a clown tried defending the draw with Endo, if this was Klopp he would've got Chiesa in and forced the win.

2 billion squad with 2 GKs on the bench and Emenalo. 

Laughable starting line as usual, why even bother getting Guiu back from loan.

And then the Playstation updates

Context is needed here. Can we stop already using Conference league like it's some sort of achievement, would've been beyond embarrassing if he didn't win it. He scrapped past Top 4 in the last game of the season. As for CWC great win against PSG but an absolutely comical road to the final if we got the draw PSG got we wouldn't even be in the final as Bayern showed.

There is a player in Garnacho but it was a silly transfer. The Gittens one was worse though but we all know why they were both made. It was even briefed to us why, they don’t even try to hide it now. They have a lot of the fanbase on board with the model now so there is no need to hide it. Fans like Thor ect… you get what you deserve tbh. 

I'm starting to care less and less we losing or even winning for that matter, doesn't matter at all with these idiot owners. And when you think the cheek some fans had during the summer to defend the ownership and Maresca.

How our sporting directors assess injury crock center backs Fofana and Badiashile every transfer window :

 

Chelsea had a large delegation in the directors’ box on Saturday. There was Eghbali, Winstanley, Stewart, Joe Shields, Sam Jewell, Daniel Finkelstein. Among their travelling party was David Weir, less than 2 weeks after his surprise departure from Brighton as technical director.

And what does it say when you have 3 RBs available and you play Fofana instead.

If we played Bayern and Real instead of those Brazilian teams we wouldn't be in the final to begin with.

As if Maresca staying is any help for us either, both camps are fucking shite.

We deserve him to stay at least 10 more years by how delusional our fanbase is. Many were sucking him dry after CWC pretending he did some masterclass.
He is shit and won't change anytime soon, I've said it before this squad isn't that good but this idiot is making it look worse than it is.
