Real Sociedad targets loan deal for Chelsea's Mamadou Sarr

Summary

Real Sociedad aims to secure a loan deal for Chelsea defender Mamadou Sarr, 20, as reported by Foot Mercato. Sarr, who has struggled to adjust to Premier League football after moving from RC Strasbourg Alsace, has made only seven appearances for Chelsea. With limited opportunities, a loan move is seen as beneficial for his development. Saudi club Al-Hilal is also interested in Sarr, who may prefer to join Sociedad to play alongside compatriot Kalidou Koulibaly.
