USMNT Defender Robinson Linked With Summer Move To Chelsea—-The Fulham full-back is reportedly on Chelsea’s transfer list for the upcoming transfer market, As the London giant are in search for a new left back due to Chilwell consistent injury spell.

One of the most consistent players for the United States has been Antonee Robinson, who has also become an undisputed starter on the left for side Fulham. Given his success, some argue he is ready to go one step further in his development, and now links to Premier League side Chelsea have emerged.

The 26-year-old is a reliable player when it comes to defending, all while possessing a strong desire to attack; his high level of performance was also recently praised by Pep Guardiola, who referred to him as an extremely interesting player.

According to sources consulted by the media outlet GiveMeSport, The Blues are “seriously” thinking about going in for the player over the summer, where he would compete for the position with Ben Chilwell and cause Levi Colwill to fight for his place at centre-back. For this move to happen, however, Chelsea would need to offload players due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, with Marc Cucurella the likeliest exit.

How much would Antonee Robinson cost Chelsea?

The report indicates that Chelsea would be willing to pay around £35 million ($45m). It should also be remembered that Robinson has a contract with Fulham until 2028, but making the move to a ‘bigger’ club in England – despite Fulham being just one point behind Chelsea, who are struggling in mid-table – would be a huge opportunity in his career, especially given that the 2026 World Cup, a target for him, is set to be held in North America.

Although the report details that Manchester United could also be interested in him, the arrival of Tyrell Malacia and the standing of Luke Shaw in the squad make a deal more complicated. Added to the mix are the players’ contracts: Malacia is under contract until 2026 and Shaw’s deal expires in 2027.

While preparations for the Copa América 2024 are well underway, the USMNT has the task of the CONCACAF Nations League Final Four, where Robinson is one of the most in-form players of the squad. Heading into the semifinal against Jamaica (Thursday March 21, 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT.), the winger noted: “Every time we play for a trophy, it means something. I want to keep on winning this trophy. I want us to win it to the point where it gets boring for people to watch us keep on winning it.”

“We always focus on the bigger picture, we know that the bigger picture is the next World Cup, but obviously we have many steps until then. We have the Nations League and then Copa América, which is probably the second most important tournament after the World Cup,” Robinson told SBI Soccer.

BREAKING: Ex-Chelsea Captain César Azpilicueta Announces Retirement From Football—-Spanish defender brings curtain down on trophy-laden career after spells with Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla.

Former Chelsea FC captain César Azpilicueta has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 36.

The Spanish defender confirmed that he will hang up his boots at the end of the season, bringing an end to a remarkable career that spanned nearly two decades.

He shared this news via his social media handles.

Azpilicueta enjoyed his most successful years at Chelsea after joining the club from Marseille in 2012. During his 11-year spell at Stamford Bridge, he made more than 500 appearances and became the first player in the club’s history to win every major trophy available.

As Chelsea captain, Azpilicueta famously lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel, adding to Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup triumphs during his time in London.

Following his departure from Chelsea in 2023, the veteran defender spent two seasons with Atlético Madrid before joining Sevilla FC for the final chapter of his career.

Azpilicueta also represented Spain at international level, earning 44 senior caps and featuring in multiple FIFA World Cups and European Championships.

In an emotional farewell message, the defender admitted it was difficult to make the decision but thanked supporters, teammates, coaches and clubs who shaped his journey in football.

Tributes have since poured in from fans and former teammates, with many describing Azpilicueta as one of Chelsea’s greatest modern-day captains and one of the most respected defenders of his generation.

BREAKING: Shock Omissions as Palmer and Alexander-Arnold Miss England World Cup Selection—-Ex-Chelsea Manager Thomas Tuchel makes bold selection calls ahead of tournament in North America.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has made several major selection decisions after leaving Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold out of the Three Lions’ final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The omissions have quickly sparked debate among fans and pundits, with both players considered among England’s biggest talents in recent years.

According to reports, Tuchel opted for balance, tactical flexibility, and current form when finalising his 26-man squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Palmer’s exclusion comes despite the Chelsea star’s strong performances over the last two seasons, while Alexander-Arnold reportedly missed out due to tactical preferences and competition in defensive areas.

The squad announcement also saw several surprise inclusions, including Ivan Toney and Djed Spence, while experienced names such as Jordan Henderson earned recalls.

Other notable absentees include Harry Maguire and Phil Foden as Tuchel reshapes the squad ahead of England’s World Cup campaign.

England will head into the tournament hoping to end decades of hurt and finally lift the World Cup trophy for the first time since 1966.
