On Sunday, for the first friendly of the off-season (0-2 against Nîmes), Roberto De Zerbi lined up Ruben Blanco in goal. With Pau Lopez waiting to leave for Como, the OM coach has no choice but to field the regular understudy. But he remembered how necessary it was to recruit a new goalkeeper, meeting his characteristics in the game (and therefore skilled on his feet).
Chelsea looking at 4 goalkeepers including Jorgensen!
Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia joined two goalkeepers: Filip Jorgensen (Villarreal) and Alvaro Valls (Las Palmas). The problem is that the latter wants Betis to return to Seville. As for the first one, he will be in sight… Chelsea! According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have a shortlist of four names for their future goalkeeper and the Dane is one of them. The first approach would have been to Villarreal.
Yellow Submarine is expecting around twenty million euros for Jorgensen. OM believe they can negotiate this price down, but with Chelsea’s fury and their massive ways in negotiations, they will either have to comply or move on.

In total
Chelsea have raided the trophy for Filip Jörgensen (22 years old), who OM are looking to recruit. The Dane is part of a short list of four names the Blues will work with. A heavy blow to Phocians with limited resources.
