The crowded goalkeeping department at Chelsea is set for another change, with Filip Jörgensen on the verge of a move to Strasbourg.
The 24-year-old Denmark international struggled to establish himself as the undisputed first choice at Stamford Bridge, with Robert Sánchez remaining ahead of him for much of last season and injuries disrupting Jörgensen's attempts to build momentum.
Jörgensen needs regular football rather than another campaign spent waiting for occasional opportunities, and Strasbourg can offer a clearer pathway to becoming a consistent starter, while Chelsea have enough alternatives to consider approving his departure without immediately entering the market for a replacement.
The final details are being discussed for the move, with salary conditions understood to be among the key factors still being resolved.
Jörgensen has already left Chelsea's pre-season tour in Australia and Asia and returned to the United Kingdom as he works towards finalising the transfer.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper has made his desire for regular minutes clear, recording only 12 appearances across all competitions last season and 36 times during his two years with Chelsea.
Strasbourg require another goalkeeper after Mike Penders returned to Stamford Bridge, making Jörgensen a logical option.
The move provides an opportunity for Jörgensen to rebuild confidence and develop through consistent first-team football, with goalkeepers relying heavily on rhythm and another season rotating with Sánchez could slow his progress further.
Chelsea can also use the transfer to create a clearer hierarchy, with Penders back after gaining senior experience in France and Sánchez and several younger goalkeepers available to Xabi Alonso.
