"Verbruggen has steadily built a reputation as one of the Premier League's most composed young shot-stoppers. Since joining Brighton & Hove Albion, he has impressed with his distribution, command of the penalty area, and calmness under pressure. His performances have not only strengthened Brighton's defensive structure but also earned admiration from Europe's elite. Chelsea face competition from Bayern Munich Interest from Bayern Munich is driven by succession planning."
"With Manuel Neuer approaching the latter stages of his career, Bayern are assessing long-term replacements capable of maintaining their high standards. Verbruggen's technical profile, particularly his comfort in possession, matches with Bayern's tactical philosophy. The Dutchman had already been linked with a move away last summer, but chose to continue his development at Brighton. Now, however, there is a growing sense that he may be ready to take the next step."
"Blues need stability in the goalkeeping department Bart Verbruggen of Brighton & Hove Albion looks on (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) At Chelsea, strengthening the goalkeeping position has become a clear priority. Inconsistency from Robert Sanchez has raised questions internally, and last summer's attempt to sign Mike Maignan from AC Milan demonstrated the club's determination to upgrade the position. Under head coach Liam Rosenior, Chelsea are seeking increased competition and reliability between the posts."
Chelsea are prepared to meet Brighton's 50 million valuation for goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen and face competition from Bayern Munich for his signature. Bayern view Verbruggen as a potential long-term successor to Manuel Neuer due to his comfort in possession and tactical fit. Verbruggen has impressed at Brighton with distribution, penalty-area command, and calmness under pressure, strengthening Brighton's defensive structure. He remained at Brighton last summer to continue development but is now seen as ready to progress. Chelsea seek to resolve inconsistency from Robert Sanchez and want increased competition and reliability between the posts under Liam Rosenior.
