🚨Chelsea are playing a pre-season tournament with AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen on 8-10th August at Stamford Bridge. First preseason matches in the diary after Club World Cup and a chance to practice a new digital ticketing plan.

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.

Sheffield United loan man Alfie Gilchrist is set to be sold by Chelsea with Championship clubs showing strong interest, as per Fabrizio Romano.

Gilchrist’s Blades stay has since ended and the youngster is now back at Chelsea, though it seems their plan is for him to move on from Stadium Bridge for good.

Writing on X, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano states that recent Sheffield United loan man Gilchrist will be allowed to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis in the summer transfer window.

With the door open for him to move onto pastures new, strong interest from the Championship has emerged and several options are being considered.

It is not said whether SUFC are among them, though the impending departure of Chris Wilder would likely cast doubt over such a return, unless the ownership are keen on a deal.

As a player with a strong reputation behind him at Chelsea, Gilchrist might not be the cheapest of players this summer.

His valuation may well have grown after establishing himself in the senior game with his Sheffield United stint too. However, the factor that could work in the favour of buying clubs is Chelsea’s willingness to sell and the player’s contract, which expires in 2026.

That could make Gilchrist more affordable than perhaps initially expected by some, but it certainly seems likely that a decent outlay is required to sign him. That may only be an option for teams towards the top of the Championship food chain.
