Turkish Super Lig giants Besiktas are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Danish international Filip Jorgensen from Chelsea.
According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Filip Jorgensen is the subject of interest from Besiktas. However, the 23-year-old goalkeeper is not interested in leaving Chelsea in the winter transfer window.
Additionally, Chelsea will not sanction Jorgensen’s exit in the coming weeks, with a winter exit possible. The player has struggled for regular opportunities since joining the West London club, and he needs to move on in search of regular game time. Leaving Chelsea in January would be ideal for his development. However, Chelsea are not prepared to sanction his departure.
The Blues paid £20.7 million to sign the player, but he has struggled for opportunities. Sitting on the bench at the London club will not benefit him, and he needs to move on. The move to Turkey could be ideal for him. He would get to play regularly for them, and it could help him regain his foreman confidence. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
If the Turkish giants decide to come forward with an acceptable offer, Chelsea are unlikely to stand in his way. The BLues are fully aware that the goalkeeper is not a key part of their plans. In addition to that, Chelsea have been linked with multiple goalkeepers in recent weeks. It is fair to assume that they are likely to bring in a first-choice goalkeeper soon.
That would push Robert Sanchez down the pecking order as the backup goalkeeper at the club. Jorgensen is likely to fall further down the pecking order. It would make sense for him to move on in January. It remains to be seen whether all parties can come to an agreement.
Moving to Turkey will give him the platform he needs right now. If he manages to impress with them, he might be able to play for a big club again in future. For now, it would make sense for him to focus on his career and play regularly. Sitting on the bench will be detrimental to the player.
Meanwhile, the Danish international has shown his quality in the past, and there is no doubt that he would be an excellent acquisition for the Turkish outfit. He will help them improve if the transfer goes through in the coming weeks.
