Al-Nassr ‘closing in’ on a €23m deal for Chelsea forward

Al-Nassr are closing in on the signing of Chelsea forward Angelo Gabriel.

The Saudi Pro League transfer window remains open until October 6th and the division’s sides are continuing to work on deals until the deadline.



 

Angelo Gabriel look set to become the latest name to swap the Premier League for the Middle East after Al-Nassr agreed a fee of €23m (£19.3m) for the 19-year-old.

The Brazilian signed for Chelsea for a fee of £13m from Santos last summer but has failed to make a senior appearance for the Blues.

Angelo spent last season on loan at French side Strasbourg, who are also owned by the Todd Boehly-led BlueCo, where he made 24 appearances in all competitions.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed a deal is all but done with Chelsea wanting to include a sell-on clause as part of the deal.

The forward will link up with an Al-Nassr side who finished second in the Saudi Pro League last season. Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte are all a part of Luis Castro’s squad.
