Malian offensive midfielder Seydou Dembélé is attracting interest from several major European clubs, including RB Salzburg, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Chelsea has already submitted an offer of €1.5 million. Balla Sanogo, an experienced coach, noted the very good relationship between the Jean-Marc Guillou academy and Red Bull Salzburg. He stated that it would be very good if Dembélé went to Salzburg, as he believes the player's progression would be much faster there. In contrast, Sanogo expressed concern that at Chelsea, it would take time for him to play, noting that English clubs do not easily trust young footballers. He worried that unless Chelsea has a partner club to send him to on loan, the move could halt his progress, even if it is a financially significant transfer.
