Real Sociedad and Al-Hilal among clubs keen on Sarr

[Getty Images] Chelsea defender Mamadou Sarr is attracting interest from Spanish side Real Sociedad and Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. They are among a long list of interested clubs, including teams in the Premier League and several competing in the Europa League or Champions League. Some clubs, such as Sociedad, are considering a loan move, while others are interested in signing the 20-year-old Senegal international on a permanent deal. Sarr is among a group of players not training with Xabi Alonso's main squad. However, he remains in the first-team building and trains on a pitch adjacent to the senior group. He joined Chelsea for £12m in 2025 before returning to former club Strasbourg on loan. Elsewhere, Teddy Sharman-Lowe is still expected to be Chelsea's third-choice goalkeeper, although the presence of Gabriel Slonina in and around the squad means the situation remains fluid. Chelsea remain open to a Championship loan move for Sharman-Lowe and are exploring both loan and permanent-transfer options for Slonina.
