Fans left angry after Chelsea agree deal to sell Deivid Washington to BlueCo-owned Strasbourg for €21m

Chelsea have <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-transfer-latest-deivid-washington-strasbourg-b1179159.html" target="_blank">reportedly agreed a deal</a> to sell striker Deivid Washington to Strasbourg for €21m (£18m/$23m), in a deal that will eclipse the French club's transfer record. However, it has not gone unnoticed among supporters that the Blues are selling a player to their sister club, which is also owned by Boehly's BlueCo, for a potentially inflated fee. Washington has played just 25 minutes of football for the Blues' first-team after his €16m (£13m/$18m) arrival from Brazilian club Santos.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Boehly and Chelsea have been under the microscope for attempting to navigate Profit and Sustainability rules by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/premier-league-psr-loophole-aston-villa-chelsea-everton-rival-clubs-anger-transfer-business/blt79ea8942e74b24d0" target="_blank">selling homegrown young players for big fees</a>. They also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/premier-league-psr-loophole-aston-villa-chelsea-everton-rival-clubs-anger-transfer-business/blt79ea8942e74b24d0" target="_blank">sold a hotel for £76m ($100m) to avoid punishment from the Premier League</a>. It remains to be seen if any action is taken over their dealings with their sister club.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea are next in action this weekend against Crystal Palace. The Blues are currently eighth in the Premier League after winning one and losing one of their first two games.
