Telegraph: Chelsea thinks Saar is more expensive next season; chest sponsorship is expected to be in place in the middle of the season

Hupu July 31, the latest report by the famous reporter of the Daily Telegraph, Matt Law, said Chelsea reached a number of transfer agreements with sister club Strasbourg this summer, one of which - first signing Mamadu Saar and then loaning back to the French club - has aroused many questions from fans.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Chelsea signed Saar permanently for £12 million and loaned him back to Strasbourg this summer instead of letting him play another season in Strasbourg, for two main reasons.

First, Saar can stay in the Club World Cup with Chelsea for a month, train with the first team, and adapt to the environment of playing for giants in large events.

Secondly, it is expected that the cost of signing the defender permanently next summer will be higher.

Although Strasbourg and Chelsea have the same owners, Chelsea are still subject to the Premier League's fair market value rules in their transfer with the French club.

In addition to the transfer matter, Chelsea is still in talks with numerous potential jersey predecessor sponsors, hoping to sign a lucrative agreement in time so that the winning company can print its logo on the club's jersey sometime in the upcoming season.
