Sarr Chelsea transfer explained as Blues strike January deal with a catchChelsea have signed Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg, but he will join in the summer. The 19-year-old defender will remain with Strasbourg for the rest of the season due to Chelsea’s loan limit. The fee is between £11.9m-£12.6m. Chelsea have a deep pool of center-backs, but injuries to Fofana and Badiashile prompted Chalobah’s recall. Strasbourg will profit £3.4m from Sarr’s sale, who joined them last summer from Lyon. This is the first permanent transfer between Chelsea and Strasbourg since BlueCo acquired the French club.
