Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is considering an exit during the winter transfer window in search of regular playing time, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Jorgensen’s transfer to Chelsea from La Liga outfit Villarreal in 2024 was primarily prompted by Enzo Maresca’s desire for a goalkeeper comfortable with playing out from the back.
During his final season at Villarreal, he completed 875 passes and ranked among the top goalkeepers in terms of distribution and sweeping, traits Maresca values highly.
However, the Denmark international has struggled for consistent first-team opportunities at Chelsea, often playing second fiddle to Robert Sanchez.
Jorgensen has made only four appearances across all competitions this term, including two in the Carabao Cup and a single Premier League outing.
With Denmark’s World Cup play-off approaching in March and competition from veteran goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel still strong, Jorgensen needs regular football.
Chelsea’s goalkeeper situation remains complex, with the club having tried to bring in additional experienced talent but sticking with Sanchez as their primary option.
Jorgensen’s departure would leave Chelsea needing to reassess their goalkeeping department, potentially opening the door for new signings.
The Blues failed in their pursuit of AC Milan’s Mike Maignan last summer. They could choose to reignite their interest in January as he enters the final few months of his existing deal.
