Chelsea, Valentin Barco, Strasbourg
24 May 2026
Chelsea have reportedly agreed to sign Valentin Barco from sister club Strasbourg. The former Brighton left wing-back is set for a move within the ownership network as Chelsea continue shaping their squad before the summer window.
Barco’s move gives Chelsea another left-sided option with top-flight experience and resale value. The deal also reflects the club’s multi-club pathway, with Strasbourg again becoming part of Chelsea’s squad-building process.
