Chelsea show interest in Strasbourg defender Mamadou Sarr

Chelsea have set their sights on Strasbourg’s promising young defender Mamadou Sarr, with the Premier League club reportedly considering a move for the 19-year-old this summer.

The Blues, who share ownership with Strasbourg under the BlueCo consortium, have increasingly explored opportunities to exchange talent between the two clubs.

According to reports from Foot Mercato, Chelsea have been closely monitoring Sarr’s performances in Ligue 1 and initially identified him as a potential target during the winter transfer window.

Sarr, who has emerged as a key figure in Strasbourg’s defense this season, has impressed scouts with his composure, tactical awareness, and ability to play out from the back.

His consistent performances have heightened Chelsea’s interest, with the London club now contemplating a formal approach ahead of the summer transfer window.

Valued at approximately €15 million, the young centre-back has attracted attention due to his rapid development and ability to compete at a high level despite his age.

Chelsea’s growing strategy of investing in young talent aligns with their interest in Sarr, who could potentially follow in the footsteps of other emerging defenders integrated into their squad.

The close ties between Chelsea and Strasbourg provide a convenient pathway for negotiations, but any move would depend on both the player’s willingness and the strategic plans of the French club.

With Strasbourg eager to maintain their competitive edge in Ligue 1, they may be reluctant to part with a player of Sarr’s caliber without securing a suitable replacement.

As Chelsea continue to scout potential reinforcements for their defensive unit, Sarr remains a strong candidate for a summer switch to Stamford Bridge.

Whether a formal bid materializes will likely depend on the club’s overall transfer strategy and the player’s future aspirations.
