Chelsea Scout Strasbourg’s Guela Doué, With BlueCo Link Seen as Key Advantage

Strasbourg’s leverage from a 2029 contract raises the price beyond €30m, leaving a January move in doubt.

Overview

  • CaughtOffside and EPL Index report Chelsea have monitored the 23-year-old right-back closely, including scouting his standout display against PSG.
  • Strasbourg’s long-term deal to 2029 underpins an asking price reported north of €30m, cited in some coverage as around £25–26m.
  • Fresh reporting also notes interest from AC Milan, RB Leipzig and Real Betis, with Brighton, Brentford and Aston Villa tracking him in the Premier League.
  • Sources describe Chelsea as in the strongest position, while a newer Spanish-sourced report characterizes the situation as a four-club race.
  • The BlueCo ownership link between Chelsea and Strasbourg is seen as a facilitator, yet no official approach is reported and a mid-season sale remains uncertain, with some outlets pointing to a possible move pushed into summer 2026.
