According to Chelsea's plans, Penders will join Strasbourg on loan for the 2025-26 season. This decision is made after considering Penders' potential and the club's goals for his development. The Chelsea hierarchy believes that Penders has the skills to become one of the world's top goalkeepers.

It's worth noting that another young goalkeeper, Djordje Petrovic, was on loan at Strasbourg last season. However, he will now be moving to Bournemouth for a fee of £25 million. This change in plans might have contributed to Chelsea's decision to send Penders to Strasbourg instead.
