Chelsea looking to sell Angelo
- Published
Chelsea would prefer to sell winger Angelo Gabriel rather than loan him out before transfer deadline day.
The 19-year-old has been on the fringes during pre-season and is widely expected to leave after the Blues signed Pedro Neto from Wolves for £54.1m.
The Brazil under-20 international, who was signed for £13m from Santos last summer, has not played a competitive match for Chelsea and spent last season on loan at partner club Strasbourg.
Turkish side Besiktas have registered an interest in taking Angelo on loan but the Blues will try to sell him before the transfer window closes.
That position may soften if they can't attract the kind of permanent bids that would lead to a full sale nearer to the 30 August deadline.
There are also issues with Fifa limits allowing just six players to move on loan overseas from a single club.
Chelsea would also prefer to sell Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, Bashir Humphreys, David Datro Fofana and Kepa Arrizabalaga rather than loan them out this summer.
