RMC Sport: Chelsea expecting to do double transfer deal before deadline tomorrow | OneFootball

RMC Sport in France are reporting that Chelsea are expecting to complete a transfer double deal involving Aaron Anselmino and Mamadou Sarr.

They expect this to get done now before the transfer deadline day tomorrow, with the window closing at 7pm on Monday evening, UK time.

That gives clubs today (Sunday) and most of Monday to get the deals over the line before they run out of time.

The biggest deal that Chelsea are expecting to do is sending centre back Aaron Anselmino on loan to Strasbourg so that they can bring back their own defender, Mamadou Sarr, to be a Chelsea player for the rest of the season and beyond.

Earlier this morning, we wrote the latest on this transfer domino deal, in the words of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Journalist Fabrice Hawkins, who has been very reliable and first to report on this one, posted on his X account late last night:

‘Chelsea continue to push for Aaron Anselmino to join Strasbourg. In the minds of BlueCo’s management, there was never any question of sending him back to Dortmund. The Blues want Mamadou Sarr back.’

So we would be hugely shocked now if this little transfer exchange does not happen before the end of the window, with Chelsea bringing in Sarr for Liam Rosenior, with The Blues boss wanting a new centre back in the door.

One other deal that is expected to go through

There could be other situations as well, such as Tyrique George to Everton perhaps, and the situation of Axel Disasi. But it looks like Chelsea could sell a striker as well before the deadline is up.

Auxerre want to sign Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana with discussions taking place over a loan with an option to buy according to reports. Fofana has been looking for a permanent exit since returning from loan this month.
