As per the latest news, Chelsea have agreed a transfer move for the 19-year-old youngster. Angelo Gabriel will be leaving the Blues after one year with the club. The teenager arrived at the Stamford Bridge just last year. Soon after his arrival, he was loaned out to Strasbourg. He would go on to make 21 appearances in the Ligue 1 last season. At the same time, he also managed to find the back of the net 4 times. Now, he is all set to join Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr in Saudi. The Blues managed to sell the teenager for a fee of $25 million. They were able to make $8 million profit on him.
Chelsea transfer news: Another player departs
Just like last season, the Blues have been very active in the summer transfer window. But, this time, they are also keeping in mind to offload players. Enzo Maresca does have more than 40 players with him. But, at the same time, we can’t deny that the Blues have also let players go in quantity. As per the news of goal.com, Gabriel becomes the 26th player to leave Chelsea on a transfer move this summer. The Blues are keen to balance their books. They are wanting to end the summer with a zero net spend.
Did the Blues do the right thing?
This seems to be a brilliant bit of business from owner Todd Boehly. He loaned out the 19-year-old last season to Strasbourg, which is also partly owned by him. Gabriel played well in the French Ligue 1 and helped his other club. And now, he gets to sell him for a good price and earn profit on him to balance the books at the Stamford Bridge. As reported in the news many times before, Chelsea have made big money by making transfer moves for young players and selling them for higher price. The Blues are having a great window.
