Men if we do that and spend big on Murillo then I see us winning the premier league and cl. 

Please buy Murillo. 

Bastoni over Murillo (for LCB)

Chelsea have not made fresh contact for Serie A star Mike Maignan yet

https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-have-not-made-fresh

We have the full drop on some latest transfer noise that has come out this week, and some will see it as good news, others will see it as bad.

As you will know, Chelsea are making plans for the next two transfer windows, with January now right around the corner.

Whilst we are not expecting a busy winter transfer window, there are some situations brewing up that could happen and see us react.

One of those of course is Filip Jorgensen wanting to leave the club in search of more minutes.

According to SPTC Sources, Chelsea are not keen to sanction a loan move for Jorgensen midseason, so any move in January will likely have to be a permanent, if Chelsea are to accept it. Clubs are starting to make enquiries for him now.

So if Jorgensen goes, will Chelsea target Mike Maignan?

Well, this is where it gets sticky. The issue Chelsea have is that neither Robert Sanchez or Maignan would accept being a backup goalkeeper. So it’s a case of either having to sell Sanchez to bring Maignan in, or just don’t bring Maignan at all and keep Sanchez.

Our sources believe that if Jorgensen does go then the most likely replacement would be another name that comes up, possibly a home grown option to help fill a spot there.

SPTC Sources have confirmed that despite reports this week, Chelsea have not made any fresh contact for Maignan - club or agents. And in fact, our sources believe that the ship has all but sailed now for Maignan and Chelsea. You cannot rule it out 100% though because decisions need to be made around goalkeepers and he could still present an opportunity as a free agent. But right now, the club are in the belief that Mike Penders will be ready in the summer of 2026, so they are also taking that into account.

However, no decision will be made on Penders until that point, so that is why I am still leaving the door slightly ajar for a Maignan or another goalkeeper to come in. I reiterate though, no fresh contact for Maignan as of the time of writing this (Thursday 27th November 6.30am) and Chelsea now looking more unlikely to make a move for him.

I think Penders needs one more season (2026/27) at Strasbourg, especially if they qualify for Europe.

If he does come here next season then either he rides the bench or Sanchez will demand to be sold.

I see almost zero chance Real Madrid moves for the utterly shite Konate in the summer, even on a free

they are insane if they sign that POS

he is probably the most overrated CB in Europe

I would go full-on bonkers if we signed him

Chelsea monitoring €60m-rated Brazilian who is “inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo”

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/11/26/Chelsea-keen-sign-joao-bezerra/

Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on the highly rated Brazilian prospect Joao Bezerra.

The 16-year-old is highly rated in South America, and a report from Lance claims that the Premier League side is tracking him closely.

Chelsea to move for Joao Bezerra?

The player has a €60 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea decides to make a move for him in future. They will need to wait until he turns 17 before making the move.

Chelsea have done well to invest in talented young players in recent windows, and they have tapped into the South American market quite often. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move for the 16-year-old now.

Bezerra could be a solid future investment for them. He has the qualities needed to develop into a key player for the London club with the right guidance. The opportunity to move to England will be exciting for him, and he will look to play for the biggest clubs in the world.

Bezerra is a promising talent

Chelsea have an exciting project, and they are looking to build for the future. It is no surprise that they are keen on the best young talents.

Meanwhile, the player has previously claimed that he is inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, and he is looking to develop into a complete forward like the Portuguese superstar.

Speaking to O Globo, Bezerra said: “Since I started understanding football, I’ve been inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo. His physical shape, his mentality… I want to play in that style. I play central, I head the ball, I hold up play, I take penalties.”

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea follows up on their scouting missions with an official proposal at the end of the season.

They are unlikely to pay €60 million for the striker, and Internacional will have to be reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.
