According to L'Équipe, the Blues are considering loaning the 19-year-old centre-back back to his former club, RC Strasbourg, for the 2025-2026 season. After a standout campaign last year with 27 appearances and one assist, Sarr convinced Chelsea to sign him on a contract running until 2033. But with fierce competition in London, the English club is keen to guarantee him playing time by sending him back to Alsace on loan.
