Facundo Buonanotte (Brighton)
August 2025
Chelsea are set to sign Brighton midfielder Facundo Buonanotte on loan after his Leeds move collapsed. The Argentina international, 20, impressed with six goals and three assists at Leicester last season and will join Alejandro Garnacho once his £40m transfer from United is finalised.
The Blues turned to Buonanotte after completing outgoings to balance UEFA sanctions and moved quickly to secure him. With Garnacho close to arriving from United, Chelsea are reshaping their attack under Enzo Maresca with youth talent from Argentina forming the backbone of their rebuild.
