🚨 Chelsea Eye Former Maresca Star Mads Hermansen in Cut-Price Summer Swoop
Keeper reunion on the cards as Blues consider £35M move amid goalkeeping uncertainty
Chelsea are weighing up a potential summer move for Mads Hermansen, the highly-rated Leicester City goalkeeper who previously thrived under Enzo Maresca.
With Leicester relegated and dealing with financial strain, Hermansen could be available for just £35 million, a bargain fee for a player who impressed during the Foxes’ turbulent campaign. Despite the drop, the Danish shot-stopper stood out with sharp reflexes, composure, and just one error leading to a goal in 26 games—a sharp contrast to Chelsea’s current No.1s.
Maresca, now at Chelsea, is familiar with Hermansen’s quality from their Championship-winning season together at Leicester, and even praised him as “brilliant” after he saved a Cole Palmer penalty earlier this year in a clash with the Blues.
Chelsea are actively reviewing their goalkeeping department, with neither Robert Sanchez nor Filip Jorgensen establishing themselves as consistent starters. While Chelsea have depth in goal with Kepa, Petrovic, and Mike Penders also on the books, there’s a clear appetite for a reliable option who fits Maresca’s ball-playing philosophy.
Hermansen’s distribution, command of the box, and confidence under pressure align perfectly with the style Maresca demands. The opportunity to reunite at Stamford Bridge might be too good to pass up—especially at a reduced fee.
As the club battles for a top-four finish and plans ahead, this move could be one of several strategic upgrades aimed at giving Maresca the tools to fully implement his vision
next season.
