Enzo Fernandez's replacement found! Chelsea agree terms with Argentina international
Argentine talent Valentin Barco has officially agreed to join London side Chelsea.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the parties have already fully agreed on the terms of the personal contract, and now the 21-year-old wing-back's transfer to the Blues this summer seems only a matter of time.
The situation is unique in that Chelsea have complete control over the deal. At the moment, Barco is playing for French side Strasbourg, which is part of the BlueCo multi-club system together with the Londoners.
This means Chelsea themselves can decide when to activate the player's move to the main Premier League squad. Valentin himself has made it clear he wants to join the Stamford Bridge project and is awaiting the green light from the management.
It's worth noting that this season, the Argentine midfielder has played 38 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 9 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at €35 million.
Reminder: The English giants are ready to splash out a huge sum for Palmeiras' 16-year-old wonderkid.
