Deal done! Hugo Oliveira hijacks Benfica target for Strasbourg | OneFootball

It’s a done deal. Fábio Baldé, the winger who was linked with Benfica this summer, is set to swap Hamburg for Strasbourg. An agreement between the two clubs has been reached, and the 21-year-old winger is preparing to begin a new stage of his career in France.

The deal will earn the German club €7 million, with the fee potentially rising further depending on the achievement of objectives agreed between the parties. The information was reported by journalist Florian Plettenberg, together with the newspaper BILD.

Fábio Baldé has also already agreed contract terms with Strasbourg and is expected to sign a deal valid for six seasons, until 2031. The move is only awaiting the completion of the medical examinations, which are scheduled for this Thursday.

The transfer will also place the young Portuguese player in a project linked to BlueCo, the group that owns both Chelsea and Strasbourg. The move to Ligue 1 could therefore represent an important opportunity for the Portugal under-21 international, who will play under Hugo Oliveira.

Last season, Fábio Baldé — valued at €3 million — made 17 appearances for Hamburg, recording one goal and one assist. However, his recent progress was interrupted by an injury between the end of January and the beginning of March.
