Frenchman confirms transfer fee agreed and terms agreed – Chelsea deal close

chelsea, premier league

Malang Sarr is undergoing a medical at Monaco after an agreement was reached with Chelsea for the centre-back.

The former French U21 international has made 23 appearances during his time with the club, and was linked with Fulham earlier this summer after he was told that he is not quite ready for us this season

Thomas Tuchel is trying to add a couple more defenders to that back-line after losing a number of first team players – and allowing Sarr to leave suggests that a deal for Wesley Fofana may be close

And French football journalist Nabil Djellit reports that the Ligue 1 club have settled on a transfer fee and also agreed terms with the defender.

Sarr will initially move to the principality on loan, but will be under an obligation to make the deal permanent for £15m if conditions are met.

The 23-year-old will return to the French league – where he played with Nice prior to his move to Stamford Bridge in 2016.

Sarr is obviously a very talented young defender that was never quite ready to make any sort of impact on this side – but considering we need defenders at the club – this is a shock to see that he is all set to leave on loan

It surely must mean that Thomas Tuchel has a couple of new defenders on way? because allowing this man to leave would leave him even shorter at the back

But if Sarr does leave the club – we hope it will not be on a permanent basis as he is a quality young defender
