Chelsea and Strasbourg are in talks regarding a potential swap deal involving two defenders. Mamadou Sarr is expected to return to Chelsea from his loan spell at Strasbourg, while Aaron Anselmino is anticipated to join the French side on loan. Both players are centre-backs.
Sarr, currently on loan at Strasbourg from Chelsea, has made 17 appearances for the Ligue 1 club this season. Anselmino was recently recalled by Chelsea from a loan at Borussia Dortmund. He initially resisted a move to Strasbourg but has now reportedly agreed to the transfer.
The proposed exchange aims to bolster Chelsea's defence amid ongoing injury concerns. Strasbourg is a sister club to Chelsea, with both owned by Clearlake Capital. The deals are expected to be finalised before the transfer deadline.
