Still excellent this Sunday evening against Olympique de Marseille (1-1) where he forms a solid duo at the hinge with Ismaël Doukouré, Mamadou Sarr asserts himself as one of the emerging talents of Ligue 1. And that does not has not gone unnoticed for Chelsea since BlueCo which manages the Blues and also owns Strasbourg.
Chelsea wants to recruit Mamadou Sarr but also loan him
Thus, as revealed RMC SportChelsea would be interested in recruiting him this winter for a check for 20 million euros but will leave him on loan until the end of the season on the Bas-Rhin side. The Blues would thus consolidate additional talent in their contingent while maintaining its progression within the promising Strasbourg squad.
