Argentine player Valentin Barco has confirmed his move to Chelsea.
Details: Insider Fabrizio Romano reports that both sides have settled on the personal contract terms, making Barco’s transfer to Chelsea this summer likely.
What’s notable is that Chelsea has full control over the transaction. Currently, Barco is with French club Strasbourg, which is part of the BlueCo multi-club system that includes Chelsea.
This allows Chelsea to choose when to finalize Barco’s transfer to the Premier League team. Barco has expressed his desire to join Chelsea and is waiting for approval from the club management.
This season, Barco has played 38 matches, netting 2 goals and providing 9 assists. He is valued at €35 million by Transfermarkt.
Reminder: Chelsea is also prepared to invest significantly in Palmeiras’ 16-year-old prospect.
