Chelsea Football Club has managed to make a transfer profit of £6 million by selling young Brazilian winger Angelo Borges, according to a new report from renowned journalist Romano. The deal marks the end of Angelo Borges' short and winding career at Chelsea and opens up a new chapter for him at Riyadh Victory in Saudi Arabia.
Looking back at the Blues career of Angelo Borges, he joined Chelsea from Brazilian club Santos in July 2023, carrying high hopes from the club and the fans. However, he did not manage to establish himself at Stamford Bridge due to stiff competition and adaptation issues. Chelsea then chose to loan him to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg in search of more playing experience and growth opportunities. During his loan spell, Angelo Borges showed some potential but did not reach Chelsea's first-team standards.
Now, the 19-year-old Brazilian starlet has officially joined Saudi giants Riyadh Victory for a transfer fee of around £20 million. This transfer not only brings Chelsea a considerable financial return, but also reflects the value of Angelo Borges in the transfer market. According to Romano, Chelsea not only made a direct profit of £6 million on the deal, but also retained a share clause for possible future secondary transfers, further securing the club's long-term interests.
The addition of Angelo Borges is undoubtedly an important reinforcement for Riyadh Victory. As a rising star in Brazilian soccer, he has excellent speed and breakthrough ability, which will inject new energy into the team's attacking end. Meanwhile, the Saudi League has attracted many world-class players in recent years, and Angelo Borges will also have the opportunity to compete with these top players and further improve his strength.
