 Chelsea’s last-minute twist foils Malang Sarr’s move to Le Havre

Chelsea Football Club left both Malang Sarr and Le Havre AC in disarray by abruptly halting the proposed transfer. Despite a seemingly settled agreement between the two clubs, Chelsea’s unexpected refusal to validate the move shattered the hopes of a promising transfer for the Franco-Senegalese defender.

Sources from Foot Mercato have disclosed that an agreement was reached between Le Havre and Chelsea for the transfer of Malang Sarr to the French club.

The proposed deal included a two-and-a-half-year contract, securing Sarr’s tenure with Le Havre until June 2026.

In anticipation of the transfer, the 25-year-old had already departed London for France to undergo the requisite medical examinations.

All elements were aligned for the formalization of Malang Sarr’s signing with Le Havre when, in the final moments, Chelsea disrupted the proceedings.

The surprising refusal from Chelsea reportedly stemmed from their unwillingness to validate the necessary documents required to complete and officialize Malang Sarr’s transfer.

In light of this unforeseen development, the defender, valued at 4 million euros, now faces an abrupt return to England.

This unforeseen twist is a substantial setback for both Le Havre and Malang Sarr, as the French club had banked on his inclusion to fortify their team. Similarly, the player was keen to join Le Havre to secure more playing time.

Malang Sarr’s annual salary with Chelsea stands at 220,000 euros (4,693,000,000 FCFA).

This incident bears a resemblance to Chelsea’s prior actions during the winter of 2023, when the club similarly disrupted Hakim Ziyech’s proposed transfer to PSG.

In the final hours of the transfer window, Chelsea failed to send the necessary documents to finalize Hakim Ziyech’s transfer, leaving the player in a state of uncertainty.
