Talented Chelsea youngster set for Stamford Bridge return as Porto choose against keeping the player

Malang Sarr to return to Chelsea once his loan spell ends

According to transfer news from Mirror, Malang Sarr will return to Chelsea after his loan at Porto ends. The defender has failed to impress at the Portuguese side and has not featured much in recent times.

Chelsea signed the 22-year-old defender on a free transfer from French club OGC Nice in the summer but loaned him out right away to FC Porto. While he did start on a bright note at the club and even was a part of the XI that knocked out Juventus in the Champions League round of 16, he has not featured that much in the league games.

Sarr was signed on a free earlier this summer

So far, he has played just 8 Liga NOS games and started just 5 of them. In the Champions League, he started 4 of the 9 games. Only in the Taca de Portugal has he been given some full games. His involvement reduced to the point where he was sent to the ‘B’ side.

Now with the season entering its closing stages, Porto are not really keen on keeping him after this season. Hence, he will be returning to Chelsea and then his future will be evaluated. However, with Chelsea already having a settled unit of defenders, it is unlikely that Sarr will get into the XI right away.

It could be the case that Chelsea look for another loan deal for the French youngster next season as he hasn’t really flourished this season. Tuchel might even decide to keep him at the club so as to get a fresh face in.
