Local media claim Chelsea have made a £38.8m to sign new left winger and his brother | OneFootball

The local media in Koln in Germany are claiming that Chelsea have made a £38.8m to sign Said El Mala and his brother.

As we head towards the summer transfer window, we are going to be hearing plenty of bits and pieces around things like this. Chelsea are going to be looking to get some of their deals sorted out before the window is even open – so I’d suggest that this one could have some legs to it.

The confusion is, if the report is true, whether the new signings will be for Strasbourg or Chelsea. Because for me, they seem like they would be for Strasbourg right now at least, rather than for Chelsea. Of course, Chelsea’s owners, BlueCo, are also the Strasbourg owners as part of a multi-club model. Although I say multi-club, there are only two clubs on the roster so far still.

As reported via X and helpfully translated by CFCPYS, this is what the report states from local Koln newspaper, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger:

Chelsea have communicated an offer to buy Said El Mala and his brother :

– £38.8m + bonuses. – £4.3m salary per year. – For Said, unclear if Chelsea or Strasbourg, he is a left wing and there is lot of competition at Chelsea. – For his brother Malek, he would play in Chelsea’s development side.

There is some good news – Chelsea are apparently hopeful about the injury Trevoh Chalobah picked up towards the end of the PSG game earlier in the week. We will keep our fingers crossed.

After the PSG defeat on Tuesday night, ESPN pundits laid into Liam Rosenior’s actions with a tactical note late in the game.
