Chelsea's ambitious transfer deal with Lille has seen a key midfielder sold for €35 million. The player, who was previously known as Samuel Eto'o, is now being linked with a move to Serie A side Juventus. Eto'o, 32 years old, had a successful career at Chelsea, scoring 16 goals in all competitions and winning the Premier League title in 2017-18. He joined Lille from Marseille for a reported fee of €15 million.
Eto'o has been a star performer for Lille this season, helping them reach the Champions League semi-finals. His experience and skills have made him a valuable addition to Chelsea's squad, and he will be missed by fans and teammates alike. However, there may not be any immediate plans to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.
The club is said to be keen on bringing in new players to strengthen their attacking options, but they may also look into potential replacements for Eto'o if he leaves. In the meantime, Chelsea will continue to focus on developing their young talent and nurturing their existing ones. They are confident that Eto'o's departure will be a positive step towards building a stronger team.
