Chelsea have confirmed the sale of Brazilian defender Angelo Gabriel to Al Nassr.
The 19-year-old has left the Blues more than 12 months after joining and has yet to feature for the club.
He signed for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr for a fee believed to be in the region of £19.1m, with Chelsea standing to make a £6.1m profit.
Angelo played part of Chelsea’s 2023 pre-season tour under Mauricio Pochettino before moving to sister club Strasbourg on a season-long loan. He played 24 games while in France but failed to score.
When he returned to Chelsea this summer, Angelo was part of a senior squad, including the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, who were forced to train in the first team.
After failing to secure a move during the English transfer window, Angelo has secured a lucrative move from Al Nassr, who also signed RB Leipzig defender Mohamed Simakan and Brazil international goalkeeper Bento this summer.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been in talks to loan one of their Brazilian players. Flamengo began making contact with striker David Washington before the transfer window closed on Monday, but they were unable to seal a deal in time. Globe they said that Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco all liked Washington.
Washington were heavily linked with Strasbourg and Hull City in the last days of August but are now in line to stay at Stamford Bridge.
