According to TeamTalk, Chelsea are looking to sign Brighton's starting goalkeeper, Bart Verbruggen. A €50 million bid has been launched by Chelsea for Verbruggen to challenge Robert Sanchez for the starting goalkeeper position.

Chelsea are preparing to challenge Bayern Munich for the signing of Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. TEAMtalk understands that Chelsea are prepared to match Brighton's £50 million price. Sources believe Brighton would demand in excess of £50 million for Verbruggen, a figure Chelsea are prepared to engage with. Chelsea are preparing a significant effort, as Liam Rosenior is looking to bring in more competition for Robert Sanchez. Sources have confirmed that co-sporting director Paul Winstanley and head of global goalkeeping Ben Roberts both carried out extensive work on Verbruggen during their time at Brighton and are now fully supporting Chelsea’s renewed pursuit. Verbruggen is ready for the next stage of his career and is ready to move this summer.

Team Talk reports that Chelsea are interested in Brighton's Bart Verbruggen. The club is still doing due diligence on other options and is one of the sides very impressed with the player. Chelsea might still provide competition for Bart Verbruggen.

According to The Mirror, Chelsea is reportedly interested in acquiring Bart Verbruggen from Brighton & Hove Albion, potentially facing competition from Bayern München. The 22-year-old Dutch goalkeeper is among Bayern's targets as well. While a move to Chelsea remains on the table, the possibility of reuniting with Vincent Kompany at Bayern is seen as attractive. Brighton & Hove Albion have placed a hefty price tag of sixty million euros on Verbruggen. Bayern, in search of a successor to the 38-year-old Manuel Neuer, is keen on Verbruggen, with Kompany, who previously collaborated with him at Anderlecht, aspiring to bring him to the team following an unsuccessful attempt to sign him for Burnley. Despite Chelsea's interest, the opportunity to join Bayern and work again with Kompany is appealing to Verbruggen.
