Chelsea has its sights set on Dário Essugo and is looking to close his signing as soon as possible, although the definitive incorporation would occur in the next summer transfer window. The English club aims to get ahead of the competition and secure the arrival of the Portuguese midfielder, who is currently playing on loan at Las Palmas.
Sporting Lisbon is willing to part ways with the young midfielder for a figure close to 25 million euros, an amount that will immediately enter their coffers, although the transfer would be finalized for the 2024/2025 season. Essugo, 19 years old, has a contract with the Portuguese club until 2027 and a release clause of 45 million, but his departure seems imminent.
Chelsea is not the only one interested in Essugo
Chelsea is not the only club interested in the promising midfielder, as teams like West Ham, Borussia Dortmund, and Real Sociedad have also closely monitored his progress. However, the Blues have taken the lead in the negotiations, seeking to close the deal with Sporting before other teams submit more attractive offers.
Essugo, known for his imposing physical presence and ability to recover balls in midfield, played two games with Sporting before being loaned to Spanish football, where he has had a standout role with Las Palmas, accumulating 14 matches and one goal. His development has caught the eye of several European clubs, but Chelsea seems determined to bet on him as a future asset to strengthen their squad.
