Chelsea Starlet Tyrique George Seeks Bundesliga Switch Amid Squad Crunch

As of August 3rd, 2025, Chelsea forward Tyrique George is actively seeking a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer. The 19-year-old is concerned about his prospects of consistent playing time at the club, following Chelsea's recent signings of João Pedro and Liam Delap as additional striker options.

George played a key role in Chelsea's UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup victories last season, but the arrival of these new players, as well as the likes of Jamie Gittens and Estêvão, has threatened his position within the squad. Even with the departure of Noni Madueke, George faces stiff competition from Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto for a spot in the team.

Amid these developments, George is now pushing for a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Bundesliga clubs RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach reportedly interested in the young talent. Discussions are ongoing as to whether the transfer would be a permanent deal or a loan, but Chelsea are said to prefer keeping George, though they will not stand in his way if he seeks more game time elsewhere.

The upcoming season, which will see Chelsea compete in the Champions League, could force manager Enzo Maresca to rely more heavily on his proven stars, potentially limiting George's opportunities. The teenager has been with Chelsea's academy since 2014 and made his senior debut in the UEFA Conference League last August, going on to score his first goal in the quarterfinals against Legia Warsaw in April. He also made two appearances in the Club World Cup group stage before missing the knockout rounds, though he still received medals for the Blues' triumphs.
