Chelsea Football Club have made significant progress in their deal to bring Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Joensen to the club, according to a new report from renowned journalist Romano. Romano revealed that Joensen has given his consent to Chelsea's offer to join the club last week and he is eager to become a member of the Blues. The two clubs, Chelsea and Villarreal, are currently in an intense negotiation phase to finalize the transfer deal.
Chelsea are said to have previously submitted a first offer of around €20 million to Villarreal to express their keen interest in Joensen. Joensen himself performed well for Villarreal last season, starting all 36 matches for the team and showing consistent goalkeeping skills and excellent match form.
Filip Joensen, 22, is also valued quite handsomely in the transfer market, with his de turnover price also standing at €20 million. Moreover, he still has a considerable amount of time left on his contract with Villarreal, which is set to expire in the summer of 2029, but it is clear that Chelsea have seen his immense potential and value and are determined to bring him on board.
For Chelsea, the introduction of Joensen will undoubtedly further strengthen the team's defense. As an important addition to the goalkeeper position, Joensen's arrival will provide the team with more options and security. At the same time, he will also compete with the existing goalkeeper to contribute to Chelsea's goal guarding.
