Romano actually reporting we signed him, but loaned him to Strasbourg for a season.

£12m + add ons
- Brighton have a sell on clause
- Medical in London tomorrow
- 1 year at Strasbourg
- Returns to Chelsea summer 2026
- Will be a #CFC player until 2031 + option to extend to 2032.

 
Its funny seeing Arsenal fans kicking off about this, conveniently ignoring that they were actually the first club in England to use a European club to "station" players, were caught doing it and forced to stop by FIFA.

"Arsenal are the subject of a Fifa inquiry after a money-laundering investigation in Belgium threw up evidence of an unusual financial relationship between the Champions League finalists and their feeder club Beveren.

According to a report by the BBC's Newsnight last night, opaque investments made in Beveren in 2001 drew the attention of Christian Du Four, the investigating magistrate in the Flemish region of Dendermonde. Fearing that the funds - initially a one-off payment of £1m - were being drawn from mafia sources, Du Four began to investigate their provenance.

"A company with no name wanted to invest £1m in the club," said Du Four. "We thought it rather bizarre."

It became clear in the course of his fiscal probe that Arsenal, rather than criminal elements, were the source of the investments. The Premiership club had agreed in August 2001 to make a £205,000 payment to a certain Raoul de Waele in the form of an interest-free loan. The loan agreement, a copy of which is in Newsnight's possession, stipulated that the money would be used to incorporate a company called Goal, which would in turn set up another company to purchase Beveren. It was signed by Arsenal's vice-chairman David Dein."

We already have 3 players officially on loan at Strasbourg through:

Penders, Sarr and Paez. Isn't the limit 3 loans?

I haven’t a clue nor do I really care. Most obvious flip transfer.

We've already sent them Sarr, Paez and Penders. I don't think we can loan them anymore.

no Strasbourg bought him not us, unless we want to break more rules, only allowed to loan 3 players to one club

 
The club already had plans in place to allow this to happen.

I didn't watch the final games but I highly doubt they threw the games away on purpose.

What plans were they? I remember reading that if Strasbourg qualified they would have qualified for the CL ahead of us due to them finishing higher in their domestic league and we would be relegated to the Europa. However I know City got to play in the same competition as Girona - so if you've got the money you can definitely make it happen unlike Crystal Palace.

With the French league being so weak at the moment we could easily have both Chelsea and Strasbourg qualifying for the CL on the regular so I hope we have a plan that's not just Strasbourg self relegating themselves to the lower competition.

Can you imagine being co owned by Real Madrid. Palmer and Caicedo going to Madrid on the cheap and we end up with some flip for profit duds in return. No thanks.

I’m pretty sure we had the blind trust thing ready to set up as far back as January.

Like I said I believe that is the goal, to elevate both teams and have them been being CL regulars. Explains why there’s been such a huge turnover of players at Strasbourg as they are trying to speedrun them into being a successful French team.

As far as MCO’s go thats the best you can wish for if you are a fan of the “lesser” team.

Tbf this lesser team were doing nothing and relegation candidates, if i were a fan of them i think id be quite happy how its going by this point.

 
If we are short of an attacking player as a result of all the exits that are planned in the next few days and we fail to get some of the signings over the line, then i wouldnt rule out Enciso loan from Strasbourg to Chelsea - sooner rather than later.

This deal doesnt look like a Strasbourg deal to me, more like a covert purchase from notoriously high priced Brighton.

I can also see a situation where we play the multiclub loophole card to the absolute maximum. Strasbourg has a considerable number of "Chelsea" players now even more than last year. I doubt Blue Co will stop till their squad is full of Chelsea pending players. LOL at Uefa and FA trying to block it.

I don't trust anything that Brighton do and was immediately suspicious at the price set for this lad. This gives some clue i reckon.

He's only 21 and had this so far. Not sure what the effect of the meniscus tear has had on the guy's ability going forward. Is he even the same player that burst onto the scene, grabbed the attention, and created 95% of his current YT compilations

Last season he played approximately a third of a league season in terms of minutes, with 1,165 league minutes from a possible 3,420. The season before just 12% of available league minutes.

I'm just highly suspicious of how quickly this deal is being completed and how cheap this appears to be. We may well flip this lad for a profit, but triple, quadruple our money as being reported by some idiot social media experts is way off imo.

It is suspicious and a punt but I think he only had a year left on his contract so motivated sellers?

But the sporting directors again revealed to rely heavily on the strategy of ‘ex Man City academy’ or ‘Brighton’.

 
We'll sell him to Saudi, Spain or USA. No way a PL club would want him for 30-40M

 
I think he could be a bit special i'll tip him to be in the Chelsea matchday squad for 2026-2027.

Yep.😎

Seems the deal has fallen through and he has gone back to Brighton.

It was clearly a scam as he must be broken. No way would Brighton have let him go at that price unless there was something seriously amiss
