L 'Equipe: Chelsea announced Strasbourg defender Sarr a few hours later[KUI]

According to L 'Equipe, Chelsea will officially announce Mamadou Sarr in a few hours.
The 19-year-old French centre-back Sall previously played for Lyon. Last summer, Strasbourg spent 10 million euros to sign him, and next he will transfer to Chelsea, which is owned by the same owner as Strasbourg.
L 'Equipe has revealed that the Blues will officially sign this rising star within the next few hours. This deal, which was finalized in the winter transfer window last year, has finally been settled. The tall and long-legged defender will complete an internal transfer within the BlueCo Group. After a brief break, Sal will have a turning point in mid-June. He will first join his new teammates and then head to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup. Thanks to FIFA's relaxation of the list restrictions (allowing the registration of 26 to 35 players), Chelsea's management hopes to take this opportunity to monitor this new French signing. Although the board recognizes its potential, head coach Mareca's team will conduct a comprehensive assessment of it in the coming weeks.
The summer transfer window will determine his destination for the next season. He will either stay with the team to play in the Premier League or be loaned back to Strasbourg. Sall had an outstanding performance for Strasbourg last season. He started all 27 league matches and accumulated 2,368 minutes, making significant contributions to the team's solid defense.Pasted Image
