Overview
- Club president Marc Keller says Strasbourg is not a feeder club for Chelsea, describing the link as a sister-club relationship and stressing on‑pitch progress.
- Captain Emmanuel Emegha scored an equaliser in a 2-1 Conference League win over Crystal Palace, with Keller praising his development after injury.
- Chelsea and Strasbourg confirmed in September that Emegha will join the Premier League club in July 2026, while a report from Fabrizio Romano says his Chelsea deal is planned for seven years.
- A vocal minority of ultras has protested the multi‑club ownership model, including a banner targeting Emegha earlier this season, though Keller says broader support remains.
- BlueCo’s footprint includes a £157m expansion of Stade de la Meinau and major squad investment for a youthful roster, alongside frequent player moves between the clubs such as Ben Chilwell’s switch, Mamadou Sarr’s sale with loan back, and loans of Chelsea prospects.
