🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Paul Winstanley and Chelsea directors spotted in Madrid with Xabi Alonso It looks like Xabi Alonso is getting to work as new Chelsea manager already, with directors meeting him in Madrid yesterday. Not much gets passed the guys at El Chiringuito TV, and they had cameras to capture Alonso walking around Madrid yesterday and they even managed to ask him a few questions. But what they also managed to capture, was Chelsea’s directors also with Alonso in Madrid, and discussion will start as to why they were all there. I’d assume Alonso still lives in Madrid, and the Chelsea directors were out there having meetings with him around summer transfer plans. Because although Alonso does not officially start his role with Chelsea until July, they will all be wanting to make transfer plans from now on because that cannot wait and they need to get to work on it for the summer. Chelsea directors meet Alonso The video has been posted on X yesterday, but the Spanish TV channel manage to zoom in on Chelsea’s directors. They say that Paul Winstanley, Sam Jewell and Joe Shields were apparently in Madrid with Xabi Alonso and his staff yesterday. In other news today... Joao Pedro is being linked with Barcelona – and will apparently make it clear to Chelsea that he wants to join them. A €100m fee is being spoken about for Chelsea to let him go. Andrey Santos was delighted with his first Premier League goal for Chelsea. He’s explained a funny story about what his Wife said to him after the game. #CFC [Source: @siphillipssport]

@CFC_Jane Yeah

@SprightlyCFC He leaves, good for Mike penders.

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Filip Jorgensen has reportedly told Chelsea he wants to LEAVE this summer after holding face-to-face talks with the club over his future. 🇩🇰👋 The Danish goalkeeper is said to be frustrated with his lack of minutes and wants regular first-team football elsewhere. Xabi Alonso is now expected to choose between Robert Sanchez and highly-rated youngster Mike Penders as Chelsea’s main goalkeeper options next season. 🧤🔵 Penders impressed massively at Strasbourg and Chelsea are planning to integrate him into the first-team squad for 2026/27 under Alonso. 👀 Big changes coming to Chelsea’s goalkeeping department this summer… ⚡ #CFC

@TouchlineX Why is Van Dijk starting ahead of Hato

🇳🇱🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: This is how the Netherlands could line-up in the World Cup with their confirmed squad! ✨

@Footballtweet From going years without a league start to dropping a masterclass in a Play Off Final That is bigger than football honestly What a comeback story

🔥 Jodi Jones produced one of the greatest individual Play-Off Final performances for Notts County. What makes it even more special? This is a player who once went more than five years without starting a league match because of injury setbacks. 👏

🚨🔵OFFICIAL: Joao Pedro has been nominated for the #PL's Transfer of the Season award. 🇧🇷 ✍️Chelsea Fc

@PaulMendes99907 He wins it easily 💙

@CFc_Nuhu10 We will make Top4 with them leading the attack if Barcelona don't buy Pedro

@theMadridZone @CazeTVOficial Madrid has become a shadow of itself now Glad Mourinho is coming to win trophies

🗣️ Viní Jr.: “Lamine? People buy tickets to watch the best players, and Lamine Yamal is one of them that the crowd pays to see him play, but when when step on the field in Clasico, we want to beat each other there.” @CazeTVOficial

@TouchlineX He will win it. I have no doubt

🚨 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥: If Oliver Glasner wins the Conference League tonight, he will have delivered the following trophies to Crystal Palace: 🏆 Conference League 🏆 FA Cup 🏆 Community Shield

@CFCDaily He's the most relieved. Almost looked like he won't make with the way Maresca ignored him.

🚨🇳🇱Hato has been called up to the World Cup

@adebarry_ But we want him to defend well

@SprightlyCFC He's a fine player though I love his energy

I know some people won’t agree with this, but I’ll say it anyway 👇🏽 Chelsea SDs have been extremely self-centered with the way they’ve handled contracts and squad building over the last three years But this isn’t fair to Malo Gusto and it needs to be discussed Check thread👇🏾

@CFC_Jane That's why I think they need to leave

@SprightlyCFC Blueco and the sporting director's keep messing up with signings. Every signing should not be a project signing for Christ sake

@ZeenyBlue Absolutely.

We all agree that Joao Pedro deserves it right?

@Defi_Rhombic Not sure anyone in the fanbase wants him to leave. If it were up to us, we would give him a pay rise

Chelsea fans with your honest opinion deep down inside you, do you really want Enzo Fernandez to leave this summer ??

🚨🔵 INSIGHT: Milan Shows Chelsea the Way: Time for Boehly & Clearlake to Clean House AC Milan just showed big clubs how to handle failure. After a 5th-place finish and missing Champions League again, RedBird sacked CEO Giorgio Furlani, Sporting Director Igli Tare, Technical Director Geoffrey Moncada and coach Massimiliano Allegri in one sweep. They called it an "unequivocal failure" and reset the entire sporting structure. Ruthless and decisive. Chelsea fans are watching with envy. Chelsea's Crisis: Boehly and Clearlake have spent over £1.5 billion since 2022, yet the 2025/26 season ended in 10th place — no European football, more mid-table mediocrity, bloated squad and endless manager changes. The multi-sporting director model (five key figures including Winstanley and Stewart) promised smart recruitment. It delivered chaos, waste and zero accountability. Milan acted fast. Chelsea have defended the process. The Reset Chelsea Needs: Follow Milan's lead now: Sack the sporting directors and clear the football executives. Appoint one strong Sporting Director with real power and a lean team. Stop scattergun spending, fix squad balance and back one clear coach (Xabi Alonso or whoever arrives). Put results first and end the endless experiments. Chelsea still have top players, a world-class academy and huge commercial power. Remove the blockers at the top and the club can return to title contention. Milan proved decisive action works. Boehly and Clearlake have the money and ambition, now show the courage.Time to reset everything. The Bridge deserves better. #CFC

@NPerps Yes. No argument there

Filip Jorgensen has asked to leave Chelsea. Do you think Mike Penders is an upgrade to Jorgensen?

@adebarry_ Hahahaha 😂😂

@SprightlyCFC Bro oo 😂

@theMadridZone This is weird. Was it rigged?

🚨💣 BREAKING: Kylian Mbappé wins Real Madrid PLAYER OF THE SEASON AWARD. ⭐️

@CFC_Jane I can't remember the number of times we have said this about a lot of our players, it means only one thing, that those signing them are incompetent

@SprightlyCFC Clearly don't know why we even signed him. hopefully we sell and get our money back.

@PaulMendes99907 Hato has a good season. Maresca almost ruined him. He has Rosenior to thank for making the world cup

🚨🇳🇱 OFFICIAL: Netherlands World Cup squad. 🏆 Chelsea player Jorrel Hato made the list 👏👏👏

@_GeorgeCFC I think if I have to choose between the two player, I'd still choose Cunha.

They mocked Garnacho all season, only for him to end up with better output than their favourite dancer 😭
