The report states that Chelsea view Mamadou Sarr as a top talent and an important part of the project, and he has a contract with the club until 2033.

Chelsea are recalling centre back Mamadou Sarr from his loan with Strasbourg. An agreement has been reached with everyone involved, which Fabrice Hawkins was the first to confirm.

Chelsea made Sarr the first player to move from Strasbourg during the summer in a deal worth £12 million ($16.5 million).

L'Équipe reports that Mamadou Sarr could leave Strasbourg as Chelsea wants to activate his recall clause. The reason for this is that Liam Rosenior, who is now at Chelsea, needs him immediately. Sarr could play his last match this Sunday before returning to London.

According to RMC, Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior wants Mamadou Sarr to return from his loan at Strasbourg. Liam Rosenior has had a direct discussion with Mamadou Sarr and considers him a priority to strengthen Chelsea's defense.
