Chelsea reportedly have a “very favourable buy-back option” for a player they recently sold to sister-club Strasbourg, Diego Moreira.

It looks like he is now looking to move away from Strasbourg in the summer, and Chelsea will have a decision to make on whether they want to try and bring back the versatile left-sided player or not.

Of course, he is a BlueCo player already, so it will be very easy to bring him back to Chelsea, especially with this apparently official buy-back option for The Blues.

But there is also other interest coming in for the 21-year-old, so BlueCo may prefer to just cash in altogether and move him on now.

Dortmund are keen

According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Borussia Dortmund are among the clubs to have Diego Moreira on their shortlist for the summer.

He states that Moreira is planning a move in the upcoming window, with a potential fee in the region of €30–40 million.

Chelsea are believed to hold a very favourable buy-back option.

I personally didn’t think it was fair that Fernandez got punishment but Marc Cucurella didn’t. There was variations in their comments but they both essentially did the same thing. Podcasters have been debating this very subject.

Chelsea academy star Ryan Kavuma-McQueen made his debut for the club against Port Vale at the weekend, and he has since been compared with academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is of course now at Nottingham Forest.
