Chelsea RE-SIGN player they sold to sister club Strasbourg just 34 days ago in bizarre multi-ownership transfer

Chelsea have re-signed one of their former players just weeks after completing his transfer to sister club Strasbourg in a bizarre transfer move between the two BlueCo outfits.

The Blues' co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought Chelsea via the BlueCo Consortium in 2022, and added the Ligue 1 team to their portfolio the following June.

But despite Strasbourg finishing seventh in the French top division last season - which has booked them a berth in this year's UEFA Conference League - the club's acquisition by the consortium has not been wholly smooth.
