Overview
- Multiple outlets say Chelsea are working on a deal for Panichelli, but all trace the claim to Fichajes with no independent confirmation from the clubs.
- The 23-year-old Argentine has started fast for Strasbourg, with 10 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions and a brace at Paris Saint-Germain.
- Reports note that Chelsea and Strasbourg share ownership under the same group, which is portrayed as a factor that could simplify negotiations.
- Panichelli is understood to be on a long-term contract reportedly running to 2030, suggesting any transfer would require substantial agreement despite ownership links.
- Questions over squad fit persist as Chelsea recently added Liam Delap and João Pedro and have Emanuel Emegha due to arrive next summer.
