Overview

  • Fabrizio Romano reports Enciso traveled to London for medical tests today as a new BlueCo signing, with an immediate move to RC Strasbourg and a later step to Chelsea reported.
  • ESPN says a deal is not yet finalized, with sources indicating a fee in the region of €15m plus add-ons and an initial registration at Strasbourg.
  • Multiple outlets place the fee around €16m or £12–15m, and reports suggest Chelsea view the 21-year-old as a long-term player once he transitions from Strasbourg.
  • Enciso is recovering from knee surgery in May following prior meniscus issues, and his return-to-play timeline remains uncertain.
  • If completed, the transfer would be the 15th Brighton departure to Chelsea/BlueCo-linked clubs since 2022, underscoring the owners’ sustained recruitment from the Amex.
