RC Strasbourg Engages in Talks with Chelsea for Deivid Washington Transfer
Body:
RC Strasbourg Alsace is reportedly negotiating with Chelsea for the transfer of Deivid Washington, a 21-year-old striker, as revealed by L’Équipe. The Brazilian talent is also attracting interest from clubs in Portugal.
Washington joined Chelsea from Santos for €16 million in the summer of 2023, yet he has only made three minor appearances for the first team. After being loaned back to Santos in 2025, he struggled to capitalize on the chance, managing only three goals in 36 matches across all competitions. He has also represented Brazil at the Under-20 level, earning 12 caps and scoring three goals, before spending the 2025-26 season playing with Chelsea’s reserve team.
Strasbourg, which shares a ties with Chelsea as part of the BlueCo network, could provide Washington with a significant opportunity to revitalize his career in Europe. The existing connections between the two clubs, which have previously executed multiple transfers, will likely facilitate this potential move.

Strasbourg, which, along with the Stamford Bridge side, form part of the BlueCo network, could therefore prove to be a great opportunity for the centre-forward to truly launch his career in Europe. Such a move would obviously be facilitated by the links between the two clubs, which have carried out numerous transfers together in recent seasons.
