Chelsea Engages in Defensive Player Exchange with Strasbourg

Discussions Underway for Sarr’s Return

Chelsea is currently negotiating with Strasbourg regarding a last-minute transfer of a defensive player.

According to reports from BBC Sport, Chelsea is interested in bringing back Mamadou Sarr, who is presently on a season-long loan with their Ligue 1 affiliate.

Potential Exchange Involving Anselmino

In return, Chelsea appears poised to send young Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino to Strasbourg on loan for the remainder of the season.

Anselmino was pulled back from his loan at Borussia Dortmund just last week, an action that frustrated the Bundesliga club.

Impact on Relationships

Chelsea claimed at the time that Anselmino’s return was necessary due to their injury crisis. However, should the player be sent to Strasbourg, it may exacerbate tensions with Dortmund even further.

As for Sarr, he is expected to compete for Strasbourg against PSG this coming Sunday night, but he is likely to make his way back to London right after the match.
