Chelsea 'line up triple transfer exit' with Enzo Maresca getting £32m duo in return

could reportedly send three players on loan to Strasbourg this summer before welcoming a high-flying duo back to Stamford Bridge. has been keeping a close eye on the two players sent out to Chelsea's sister club in last year, and there is little doubt that he will have liked what he has seen.

As a result of their sparkling form at -chasing Strasbourg, goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic and midfield wonderkid Andrey Santos are expected to be given chances in the Chelsea first team. Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen have both failed to impress between the sticks this season, creating a potential opening for Petrovic, who was not kept on by Blues bosses last summer despite making 31 appearances in all competitions in 2023/24.

Santos, meanwhile, has established himself as a tough tackler and a frequent scorer from the middle of the park. His performances in Ligue 1 have been too impressive for Maresca to ignore, and the young Brazilian is set to get a run-out at the revamped FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

To maintain the harmonious relationship with Strasbourg and compensate for recalling Petrovic and Santos, who were signed for a combined £32million in 2023, Chelsea are reportedly willing to send three players in the opposite direction.

claim that Petrovic could be replaced by either Jorgensen or Mike Penders - the 19-year-old goalkeeper who is yet to even join up with the Blues following last summer's transfer agreement.

A second exit is set to be sanctioned if Santos is kept at Stamford Bridge for the 2025/26 campaign. And Mathis Amougou - a teenage midfielder snapped up from Saint-Etienne for this winter - is the player expected to get the nod.

The third and final move making its way through the pipeline involves Kendry Paez. The 17-year-old has recently been training with Strasbourg as part of his bedding-in process, having made the move to Europe after rising through the ranks with Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle.

And while nothing is set in stone for next term, it is understood that Paez could continue his development by making a season-long switch to Liam Rosenior's side. The attacking midfielder has been tipped to enjoy a big future, and he has already racked up 17 senior caps for Ecuador.

Chelsea and Strasbourg's prospective transfer business could yet be hampered if both sides qualify for the same European competition and UEFA crack down on trading between the two BlueCo-owned clubs.
