Chelsea continues with its strategy of signing young talents to strengthen its squad in the long term. In recent markets, the London club has bet on players with great potential, securing additions that can make a difference in the coming years. With a policy focused on attracting promising players, the Blues aim to get ahead of the competition and consolidate a competitive team for the future.
Following this line, the Stamford Bridge team has closed a new operation in the market. Pending official confirmation, everything indicates that Chelsea has already reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon. It's definitive: they will secure the services of one of the young promises who has excelled in LaLiga this season.
New Signing for the Midfield
According to the renowned transfer market journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea has reached an agreement for the signing of Dário Essugo. The 20-year-old midfielder who belongs to Sporting Lisbon and is currently on loan at UD Las Palmas is all set for his move to London. The transfer would be closed for 22 million euros, and the footballer will sign a long-term contract with Chelsea.
Essugo has made the most of his time in LaLiga, establishing himself as a midfielder with a strong presence. It's no wonder: his performance at Las Palmas has caught the attention of several major clubs in Europe, but Chelsea has been the quickest to finalize his arrival. The young Portuguese talent will join the Blues squad starting next season, seeking to establish himself in the Premier League.
A Talent with Great Potential
Chelsea's sports management sees Dário Essugo as a player with the potential to be important in the coming years. In fact, his signing responds to the need to strengthen the midfield with young players, following a strategy similar to that applied with other recent additions.
One of the most recent examples is the signing of Geovany Quenda for 48 million euros, who is also part of Sporting Lisbon. However, unlike the midfielder, the young winger will not join the team until 2026, when he reaches the age of majority. This way, Chelsea secures two signings with great potential, once again betting on young talent as part of its future plan.
