🗣 Liam Rosenior on Chelsea: "I wish them all the best in the future. I think they have a fantastic manager in Xabi Alonso and I will be following their results.

Those lessons I take from Chelsea will help me in this role and, hopefully, help this club become a very big club in world football as well."

Liam Rosenior opens up on Chelsea stint:

🗣 "We joined the club in the middle of a season and at a difficult moment, and I learned many lessons," Rosenior said.

There are things I definitely could have done better and things I could have taken more accountability for, but there were also positive aspects to what we did."

🚨BREAKING: Chalobah to Como is one step away. In the last few hours, Como submitted to Chelsea a third offer of €30m fixed + €5m in bonuses. The distance with the English is reduced and a new meeting between the clubs is scheduled in the next few hours.

🚨🇫🇷 Chelsea will have to pay £55m for Maxence Lacroix, who wants to leave Crystal Palace.

Chelsea need to comply with financial rules, both in the Premier League and with UEFA, makes outgoings significant. It is pretty simple logic, but the more you raise the more can be reinvested back into the squad. With no European football in 2026-27, it would be unhealthy to have too many players merely making up the numbers in training. (via TheAthleticFC)

I think £55m for Lacroix in this markets a fair price. Get it done Chels, get Colwill the CB partner he deserves

🚨 Chelsea will not be disappointed if both Enzo Fernandez and Malo Gusto end up staying. Neither are untouchables, but not many teams can afford the £120m and £75m valuations.

(TheAthleticFC) #CFC

🚨 A factor in Chelsea potentially deciding to sell Enzo this summer will be that for as wonderful as he is on the ball, he can struggle when opponents run past him.

That weakness has caused structural issues for Chelsea. Fernandez only won 3 of 9 ground duels against England.

Although Real Madrid took the surprising step of issuing a public denial of any interest in Fernández this month, there are suggestions that they remain interested in signing the Argentinian.
