Chelsea’s Angelo Gabriel has completed a \u00a319.1m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, having never made a competitive appearance for the Blues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 19-year-old Brazilian joined Chelsea<\/a> in July 2023 for a fee of \u00a313m. He made 24 appearances on loan at Strasbourg last season.<\/p>\n

Angelo will join up with former Premier League<\/a> stars Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> and Sadio Mane at Al-Nassr, after the Saudi transfer window closed on Monday.<\/p>\n

The winger became the youngest player in Brazilian top-flight history in 2020, making his debut for Santos aged just 15 years and 308 days.<\/p>\n

He went on to play 129 times for his boyhood club, before switching to Stamford Bridge last year.<\/p>\n

In total, Angelo has made 154 senior appearances, scoring five goals and adding 14 assists.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s Angelo Sale Will Help Ease PSR Worries<\/h2>\n

With Chelsea’s spending under Todd Boehly<\/a> coming under increasing scrutiny, sales like this will go a long way towards balancing the books.<\/p>\n

In the last five seasons, the London club have spent \u00a31.83 billion. This figure is around double that of the next-closest team, Manchester United<\/a>, who have spent \u00a3954m in the same period.<\/p>\n

And around \u00a31.1bn of Chelsea’s spending has been since Todd Boehly took charge in 2022.<\/p>\n

As clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest suffer points deductions, and Manchester City deal with 115 charges for alleged financial breaches, Chelsea must maintain a steady stream of income from player sales.<\/p>\n

Angelo’s move to Saudi represents a \u00a36m profit on the \u00a313m fee Chelsea paid to Santos last summer.<\/p>\n

The deal takes Chelsea’s income from player sales this window up to near \u00a3200m.<\/p>\n

These sales of young players for profit are vital in counterbalancing the \u00a3200m or so spent on 11 new signings over the summer.<\/p>\n

Are Chelsea Playing Football Manager In Real Life?<\/h2>\n

While many have criticised Chelsea’s tactic of stockpiling young talent, the potential to sell players on for profit after a couple of years demonstrates the logic behind their strategy.<\/p>\n

In a model familiar to any seasoned ‘Football Manager’ player, Chelsea are buying up as many young wonder-kids as they can find.<\/p>\n

Any who turn into superstars can be kept and brought into the team. Those who don’t reach their potential can be sold on for profit after a few years to keep the cash flow healthy.<\/p>\n

Whether on not the method will be as effective in real life as it is in the game is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
