Alonso signed his first contract with Chelsea

Argentinian star

Chelsea have completed their first summer deal by agreeing a definitive agreement for Argentine Valentin Barco, bolstering manager Xabi Alonso’s attacking options next season.

Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea have finalized all the details regarding the player, after Strasbourg agreed to his departure following his remarkable performances this season.

Romano noted that the Blues’ management began to move quickly to complete the deal when Liam Rosenière was Strasbourg manager, as he expressed a desire to keep the player or sign him later before plans finally crystallized in favor of Chelsea.

June is the official announcement date

Chelsea are expected to begin official signings for Barco at the start of next June, while Alonso’s role in the player’s loan move remains unclear despite his versatile ability and ability to feature in more than one position, particularly on the left.
