Strasbourg has agreed to sign Ivorian center-back Abakar Sylla for €15 million.
The club was recently bought by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, and Strasbourg’s ambitions in the transfer window have been matched with those of other big-name teams.
That smashes Strasbourg’s existing record and shows how quickly things are going to change in their new era of cooperation with Chelsea.
Sylla is due to arrive in eastern France on Friday to undergo a medical and conclude his transfer.
Romano added that the Blues think the youngster has “huge potential,” and this move is very much with an eye on bringing him to London if he fulfills it.
The Defender will stand as a big rock against the top attackers, and he is likely to join Chelsea in the future. He is full of pace and agility, coupled with strength.
