Barco Move to Chelsea Not Done - Romano

Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Valentin Barco's potential move to Chelsea, stating that while the Blues are closely monitoring the 19-year-old midfielder, it's not a completed deal. "Chelsea are closely monitoring the impact of Valentin Barco," Romano told his YouTube channel. "It's not a done deal or completed between Chelsea and Strasbourg. But Chelsea are considering the possibility to sign Valentin Barco."

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their squad this summer, particularly in midfield where they aim to ease the burden on Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. The Blues face competition for Barco, who has also been linked with other clubs. Midfield remains a priority position for the club as they look to address several areas of their squad.
