Racing Club de Strasbourg close to signing goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen

Racing Club de Strasbourg is on the verge of completing the acquisition of 24‑year‑old goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen. The Danish‑born (Swedish‑born) keeper, who is under contract with Chelsea, has been identified as the preferred option after the club evaluated other candidates, including Gabriel Slıná. Negotiations are reportedly finalized apart from remaining salary details, and no official announcement has been made yet.

The move aligns with new coach Hugo Oliveira’s emphasis on the goalkeeper as a central figure in the team’s build‑up play. Both Strasbourg and Chelsea belong to the BlueCo consortium, led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, facilitating the transfer.

Filip Jörgensen arrives with experience from Chelsea’s recent seasons, having played 36 matches across all competitions after joining from Villarreal. The signing is expected to solidify Strasbourg’s first‑choice goalkeeping position for the upcoming Ligue 1 campaign.
