As per the spoilers for Blue Lock chapter 240, the upcoming chapter is set to be titled "Triple Jump Up." The manga chapter opened with the Paris X Gen vs Manshine City match ending as even the genius Seishiro Nagi wasn't able to stop the monstrous Rin Itoshi.
After the match ended, Seishiro Nagi asked Rin the reason behind his drive to get stronger with every match. To this, Rin responded that his goal was to surpass his brother Sae Itoshi and "kill" Isagi. However, he had no idea what he was going to do next. That said, he was not worried about the events that far in the future as he was too focused on his current goal.

While Nanase was surprised that he got an offer, Zantetsu believed that his valuation was quite low.

Additionally, Blue Lock chapter 240 spoilers saw the announcer revealing that there had been an update for Michael Kaiser. He had received a bid of 320 Million from Spain's "Real." This was the same club where Rin's brother Itoshi Sae played.
Upon learning that the world's strongest club wanted Kaiser, Alexis Ness went to Kaiser to celebrate with him. However, after his defeat at the hands of Isagi, Kaiser could not consider himself to be better than him.
As for Isagi, he calculated how far behind he was of Kaiser. While he was glad that his rank got updated, he was not happy with second place and wanted to become the top-ranked player. With that, Blue Lock chapter 240 spoilers hinted at an upcoming three-way battle between Isagi, Kaiser, and Rin.
