“Here we go again” – Fabrizio Romano confirms another Chelsea transfer to be announce soon
Another Chelsea transfer agreement this summer, though with a few differences, has been dubbed the “here we go” deal by Fabrizio Romano.
Since Tosin Adarabioyo signed a free agent contract this summer and Enzo Maresca became the new head coach, Romano has already been calling a few Chelsea games this summer. And there will undoubtedly be a ton more after this.
And now, according to Romano, Pedro Lima, the full back for Sport Recife, is headed to Chelsea!
However, there seems to be a big difference with this one, because it looks like he isn’t actually even joining Chelsea at all.
Lima will join Strasbourg
Chelsea have started to create a multi club model under the name of BlueCo, with Chelsea being the main club under the umbrella. And it looks like Lima will actually be joining Chelsea’s sister club, Strasbourg instead.
Romano says: “Chelsea verbally agree to sign Brazilian 2006 born right back Pedro Lima from Sport Recife, here we go!
“Key detail: the deal will be done via BlueCo side Strasbourg.
“€7m fixed fee, €3.5m add-ons and player’s agent set to travel for final details.”
So, it’s not welcome to Chelsea Lima, it’s welcome to Strasbourg, or perhaps more accurately, welcome to Blue Co.
I’m sure there are some chances that we might see Lima at Chelsea one day too, but it certainly seems like he is going to be starting his European football career in France anyway.
Either way, it’s a big step up from the second tier of Brazilian football, which is where Lima has been playing up until now.
He is just another teenager arriving as Chelsea look to build this super team for the future, signing up all the top young talents from around the globe.
