Transfer Treadmill in Full Swing: Chelsea Sends Another Player to Strasbourg as UEFA Watches On

Kellyman marks the third player to move from Chelsea to Strasbourg during this summer's transfer window. He follows goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen and defender Genesis Antwi, who both joined on loan.

Conversely, Argentine international Valentin Barco and striker Emanuel Emegha have made the switch to Chelsea, with the London club reportedly spending approximately $75 million on the pair.

According to The Athletic, 14 players have now transferred between the two clubs since BlueCo's acquisition of Strasbourg. Strasbourg is currently under financial scrutiny from UEFA, which has advised the club to significantly reduce its squad costs by 2026. In June, the French club was fined 13 million euros for breaching financial regulations.

Kellyman spent last season on loan at Cardiff City in England's third tier. British media reports indicate that Chelsea has retained a buy-back option for the player. The Associated Press reported on this development.
