Chelsea are preparing to sanction their first summer transfer decision under new manager Xabi Alonso, with the club reportedly open to the departure of goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.

According to BBC Sport, Chelsea are willing to consider offers for Jorgensen after the Danish shot-stopper expressed a desire to leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular first-team football.

Jorgensen joined the London club from Villarreal two seasons ago with expectations of challenging for the number one spot, competing with Robert Sánchez for starting duties.

However, the 24-year-old has struggled for consistent game time, making just 11 Premier League appearances across two seasons.

Despite speculation that Alonso’s arrival could influence squad decisions, reports suggest the player has already decided he needs a new challenge to secure more regular minutes.

Chelsea had previously blocked a January move for the goalkeeper, but the club’s stance has now softened, with both European and English sides expected to monitor the situation closely.
