It’s going to be interesting: “ Omari Kellyman “

Tue Jun 09, 2026 4:49 pm

Chelsea have already decided Omari Kellyman won't join them on their pre-season tour because they want his loan exit sorted "as soon as possible"

Cardiff very much in wanting Kelkymam to return, but they face competition from other Championship Clubs

Annis saw a comment from Chelsea that indicated they wanted new club for him? Not sure of context but could be they want him to experience different setup even though they were more than satisfied with his progress at city.

Sounds from reports that we are the front runners but it all depends whether Chelsea want him in the EFL or at Strasbourg.

Monty not unusual for players to go to different clubs if out on loan for couple of seasons in fact can swap clubs mid season...Really a case of wait and see

Our big advantage regarding young loans is bbm and his reputation that should give us better chance if comes to several clubs interested don't mean kellerway in particular.

Hearing the ‘Jacks’ have made an enquiry, but we the Welsh capital club (the envy of lesser subservient towns in the Prinicipality) are still the most likely destination, as Chelsea were exceptionally pleased with his spell here last season

The only big alternative is abroad, but I feel they’ll want him to stay within the ‘home’ system

Fingers crossed it all works out!

Hopefully from Man City now that BBM's mate Maresca is going there.

Allan,

That does not sound good.

To develop him, my view is he should return under BBM.

Thats the logic thing to do but as I've said maybe they want a different playing environment despite how well he done and them being happy with way loan spell went

If they're pleased with how he's progressed here it would be strange to risk sending him on loan to a different club where his progression may stall or even go backwards.

He's likely to improve further under BBM also. Surely it makes sense for all parties?

As I said over a month ago - he will not be part of Chelsea's squad next season - 1 season in the Championship 2026-27 .
