HITC understands that BlueCo, Chelsea’s parent company, have struck a deal to sign a promising right-back this summer.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea have been busy in the summer transfer window with the club signing a multitude of players with high potential.

Chelsea signed Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury Hall, signed Tosin Adarabioyo on a free from Fulham and have also signed Willian Estevao who will join the club in 2025.

The Italian manager will certainly be backed at Chelsea and it seems another player is about to become a part of the BlueCo network, with the hope of becoming a Blues player in the near future.

BlueCo strike deal for promising right-back Guela Doue

Whilst all of the talk this summer has been around Desire Doue, the winger’s brother, Guela, is also attracting plenty of transfer attention.

Sources have told HITC that BlueCo – Chelsea’s parent company – have sealed a deal for Rennes right-back Guela Doue.

Doue, who has been looked at by Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks, rejected a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray last week as interest in him mounted.

Now the 21-year-old has agreed terms on a move to Strasbourg – Chelsea’s sister club.

Last season for French side Rennes, Doue featured in 24 games for the club, and provided two assists in Ligue 1 and also made a further four appearances in the UEFA Europa League.

Chelsea’s plan for Doue explained

Whilst Doue will move to RC Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club,where he will be coach by new boss Liam Rosenior, HITC sources have confirmed that Chelsea officials and scouts advised on the move as they recognised Doue a player of significant potential.

Chelsea have signed a young right-back from Ligue 1 previously in Malo Gusto and the Blues will be hoping to repeat the trick with 21-year-old Doue.

As for the right-back’s brother Desire, sources have told HITC that the exciting winger has been the subject of bids from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

We had previously reported that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were prepared to join the bidding for Doue but it appears Bayern and PSG are the favourites.
