Dario Essugo has agreed to join the BlueCo project, indicating that his immediate future may initially be in France with Ligue 1 affiliate Strasbourg. Chelsea are optimistic that they can finalize a deal for approximately €22 million. According to Fabrizio Romano, Essugo has accepted the BlueCo project. The Blues successfully outbid Manchester United for the signature of the 20-year-old, who is currently on loan at the LaLiga club Las Palmas. Despite being a regular for Las Palmas this season, Essugo is anticipated to join Chelsea in the upcoming transfer window. However, it is still uncertain whether he will move directly to Chelsea, join Strasbourg on loan, or remain at Sporting CP like Geovany Quenda. Before his loan to Spain, Essugo had made 25 senior appearances for Sporting.
