UEFA Conference League: Premier League club Chelsea has confirmed the exit of goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, who will now head to France to join Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg on a season-long loan.
The 24-year-old Danish player was getting fewer opportunities at Stamford Bridge and now will have a chance to prove his worth in the French Competition. According to the deal, RC Strasbourg will not have a purchase option after the loan period ends.
Born in Sweden in 2002, Jorgensen joined Villarreal’s youth academy at the age of 15. He made his first-team debut in the Copa del Rey in December 2021.
After making his La Liga debut in January 2023, Filip Jorgensen established himself as Villarreal’s first-choice goalkeeper during the 2023-2024 season, playing 37 matches in all competitions.
The 24-year-old joined the Blues in the summer of 2024 and made 36 appearances over the previous two seasons.
Jorgensen was a key member of the Chelsea side that lifted the UEFA Conference League in May 2025, starting all but one game in the competition. The Denmark international became a Club World Cup winner later that summer. He featured 12 times last season across four different competitions, playing his part as we reached the semi-finals of both domestic cups.
Jorgensen earned his first cap for the Danish national team in June 2025 and now has two caps.
