The Blues only signed for Chelsea just over a year ago, but has never played a competitive game for the club, having spent time on loan at Strasbourg.

See below for details as Romano now says Angelo is closing in on leaving Chelsea already, with a package worth €23m said to be almost agreed, while CFC should be set to make a percentage back from any future sale as well…

Angelo transfer: Chelsea youngster leaving for Saudi

Chelsea fans will perhaps be questioning why their club has invested so much in a lot of young players like this who seemingly never got anywhere near the first-team, but at the same time it’s perhaps also good to see the owners trimming down the squad a little.

Saudi clubs have signed a lot of big names in recent times, and this looks like it could end up being a smart deal for a talented young player who’ll no doubt have a point to prove after struggling to establish himself at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have generally had another busy summer, bringing in a host of new big-name additions like Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Jadon Sancho, while there have also been some significant departures like Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah.
