The Athletic: Chelsea now have a gentlemen’s agreement to sell player for £25m this summer | OneFootball

According to a report today from The Athletic, Chelsea have a gentlemen’s agreement in place to sell a player for £25m this summer.

Chelsea beat Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their Club World Cup opening group game last night in what was a very strange and subdued atmosphere in front of just 22,000 people in a huge stadium.

EXCLUSIVE! Bayern Munich have made contact with Chelsea regarding signing one of their defenders!

It was far from vintage Chelsea but in the end they just got the job done and three points on the board to set them up for a good starts.

The goals came from a lovely Nicolas Jackson assist to Pedro Neto to finish in the first half. And then new signing Liam Delap also provided a superb assist for Enzo Fernandez to run into the box and tap in to score.

Chelsea still likely to sign a new goalkeeper

In my opinion, Chelsea will still sign a new goalkeeper this summer and I’d not be at all surprised if it still ends up being Mike Maignan.

Mike Maignan takes a goal kick for AC Milan.

That’s my view. It’s clear they aren’t entirely happy with what they’ve got and I am pretty sure they will end up signing a new one.

Petrovic to be sold?

The report from The Athletic states that there is a gentleman’s agreement between Chelsea and Djordje Petrovic that he can leave if someone bids £25million.. He has been given the green light to find himself a club.

If nothing comes of it, Petrovic will have to report back for pre-season training. A return to French side Strasbourg, where he impressed on loan in 2024-25, could then be a possibility.

He will go for that price for sure, so then Chelsea will sign another goalkeeper I reckon.
