Chelsea Transfer News Today: Caicedo sends Real Madrid message as shock release clause revealed
All the latest Chelsea transfer news in one place, including updates on Moises Caicedo, Nicolas Jackson and Serhou Guirassy.
Caicedo reveals future plans
Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo insists that he wants to stay at Chelsea 'for a long time' and win more trophies after lifting the Conference League and Club World Cup titles.
The Ecuador international has established himself as one of the world's best midfielders, and this has naturally attracted the attention of other clubs, but Caicedo says he is not thinking about leaving.
Al-Nassr explored a spectacular summer move, while Real Madrid have been frequently linked with Caicedo in the Spanish press. However, a move won't happen anytime soon.
Jackson deal increasingly unlikely
With each passing game, it becomes increasingly unlikely that Bayern Munich will automatically trigger their €65 million purchase option in Nicolas Jackson's loan deal.
The Senegal international needs to start or play at least 45 minutes in 40 games this season for his move to become permanent, but Bayern boss Vincent Kompany continues to rely heavily on Harry Kane even against relegation-threatened opposition.
The number of available games for Jackson to reach his 40-match benchmark is dwindling rapidly, and the situation is made more complicated by the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Guirassy release clause revelation
Chelsea are looking for a prolific No.9 and have been told that Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy could be an affordable option in the 2026 summer window.
Although the 29-year-old would not fit the Blues' age profile, he would guarantee goals. Guirassy can join Chelsea because they are one of just seven clubs able to exercise his release clause.
The clause is staggered and drops in value every year. Next summer, the Guinea international is available for around €50 million, which could make him attractive despite his age.
Cucurella still hurt by Barcelona exit
Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has admitted that he is still 'hurt' by the fact that he was sold by formative club Barcelona without being given a proper run in the first team.
The Spaniard was sold to Getafe in 2020 and enjoyed a quick rise to prominence, leaving for Brighton the following year and then Chelsea again after just 12 months.
Despite his disappointment, Cucurella believes that it has ultimately worked out well, as he would potentially not have been as successful at Barcelona as he has been since leaving.
Mudryk still in the dark over punishment
Forgotten Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is still awaiting his potential punishment after being charged by the FA with a doping offence in the summer.
Mudryk has not played for Chelsea in a year, and public appearances have been few and far between. The worst-case scenario is that he is handed a four-year ban, but he remains in the dark over his fate as things stand.
The Ukraine international has been keeping himself fit with an external trainer, as Chelsea are only allowed to offer him limited support, with the player not even permitted to enter the Cobham training ground.
