Chukwuemeka, Chilwell, and Casadei Set to Leave Chelsea in January Over Game Time
Three Chelsea players are reportedly planning to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window, according to trusted football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Sharing the update on X (formerly Twitter), Romano named Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, and Cesare Casadei as players considering moves away from Stamford Bridge due to limited playing opportunities under manager Enzo Maresca.
The lack of consistent playing time has been a major frustration for these players. Carney Chukwuemeka, a highly-rated young midfielder, joined Chelsea from Aston Villa with great promise but has struggled to cement a regular spot in the team.
Similarly, Ben Chilwell, a former Leicester City star and England international, has faced challenges staying fit and competing for minutes in a squad stacked with defensive talent.
Cesare Casadei, an exciting Italian prospect, has found himself on the fringes and is yet to make a significant impact at the club.
Romano hinted that a move to Serie A is the most likely option for Casadei, with several Italian clubs already expressing interest in signing the talented youngster.
Casadei, who joined Chelsea from Inter Milan in 2022, may find a return to Italy a more fitting environment to develop his game and get regular minutes on the pitch.
Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has confirmed that Victor Osimhen will stay with the club next season. The Nigerian striker spent last season on loan at the Turkish champions. On Sunday, Osimhen turned down a big-money offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal, who were willing to activate the €75 million release clause in his contract.
At 26, Osimhen wants to keep playing in Europe. Ozbek revealed that talks are still underway to finalize the details of his contract. “Victor Osimhen is staying at Galatasaray. His feelings will play a key role. Negotiations are in progress,” Ozbek told Hurriyet. “We hope to share good news with you next week.”
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has praised Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese legend helped his country lift the UEFA Nations League trophy.
Ronaldo, now 40, played a key role in Portugal’s dramatic final against Spain, scoring the equaliser that pushed the match into extra time. After 120 minutes ended 2-2, Portugal sealed the win 5-3 on penalties, with Spain’s Alvaro Morata missing a crucial spot kick.
Following the victory, Vinicius—who now wears Ronaldo’s famous No. 7 jersey at Madrid—reacted to a Portugal celebration post featuring Ronaldo on Instagram. In his response, the Brazilian forward simply wrote, “ADDICTED TO WINNING,” showing his admiration for the football icon’s continued success.
