The close link between Strasbourg and Chelsea, due to ownership by BlueCo, places Chelsea in a strategic position. A transfer to London would allow the club to secure Martial Godo while controlling his development. Marc Zoro has commented that the Chelsea option is the most natural because of the common ownership, and also that it is the riskiest, as Martial Godo needs to play. Zoro warned that joining Chelsea only to be loaned out again or remain on the bench could hinder his progress, and he emphasized the need for guarantees about playing time.

Chelsea, which shares the same owner as Strasbourg, could use this relationship to recruit 23-year-old Ivorian international Martial Godo, who joined the French club from Fulham last summer. The winger's contract runs until 2030, and he has also attracted interest from Premier League clubs West Ham and Crystal Palace. Beşiktaş is also interested in the player, but it is reported that the Turkish club is aware that a deal will be complicated due to the strong competition. Godo has one cap and one goal for his country and a current Transfermarkt market value of €18.00m. His transfer from Fulham to Strasbourg occurred in September 2025 for a fee that was reported to be €7.0M.
