“A certainty” – Club board member confirms Chelsea target will not leave this summer | OneFootball

A board member of one club has confirmed that one Chelsea target will not be being sold in the summer transfer window.

The news comes off the back of Chelsea getting an essential three points on Saturday afternoon by beating Everton 1-0 at home after a fantastic first half goal from striker Nicolas Jackson ending his 2025 goal draught.

It was far from an easy game for Chelsea though, and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez became the unlikely hero and was actually the reason that they could see the win out and collect all three points, making some big second half saves to deny certain goals.

Another one of Chelsea’s best players on the pitch was defender Trevoh Chalobah and really, he was a strong candidate for man of the match too. Enzo Maresca defended Chelsea’s decision to let him go on loan in the summer after then recalling him in the winter.

Off the pitch, there is plenty of transfer rumours going around right now, and Chelsea have been strongly linked to River Plate sensation Franco Mastantuono. Fabrizio Romano has recently confirmed Chelsea’s interest in the young starlet.

IF you believe River Plate board member Stefano Di Carlo, Mastantuono will not be going anywhere at all this summer.

When asked if Mastantuono will remain at the club beyond the summer, Di Carlo simply replied:

“Yes, yes, that’s a certainty already.”

This is most certainly a top young player coming through the scene but he has a lot of interest and of course his club are going to milk this as much as they can and of course the ball is in their court as to when they decide to sell a contracted player.
