The transfer saga of Brazilian wonderkid Ângelo Gabriel took another unexpected turn as he completed a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in a staggering $25 million deal. This move came just a year after his arrival at Chelsea from Santos, a journey that saw him never featuring for the English club but instead being sent out on loan to Strasbourg, one of the teams in the Chelsea ownership portfolio.
Despite being part of Chelsea’s preseason squad for their tour of the United States, Gabriel’s time at the club was short-lived as he has now secured a permanent move to Al Nassr where he will have the opportunity to play alongside footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. This move not only provides Gabriel with a fresh start but also allows Chelsea to navigate financial regulations in both the Premier League and UEFA competitions.
Gabriel’s transfer is not the only Brazilian teenager’s movement that raised eyebrows at Chelsea. Deivid Washington, who also arrived from Santos around the same time as Gabriel, almost made a permanent switch to Strasbourg. However, complications arose, and sources suggest that Chelsea decided to call off the deal due to concerns regarding its compliance with competition regulations.
As Chelsea bid farewell to Ângelo Gabriel, the club expressed their well wishes for his future endeavors and acknowledged his contributions during his time with them. Gabriel, who made history as the youngest player in Brazil’s top-flight league when he debuted for Santos at just 15 years and 308 days, now embarks on a new chapter in his promising career at Al Nassr.
The transfer of Ângelo Gabriel from Chelsea to Al Nassr marks a new and unexpected chapter in the young Brazilian’s career. With twists and turns along the way, Gabriel’s journey demonstrates the unpredictability of football transfers and the opportunities that can arise from unexpected moves. As he joins forces with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, Gabriel’s potential shines brightly, leaving fans and observers eager to see what the future holds for this rising star.
