Strasbourg president Marc Keller has insisted that they will not become a short-stay destination for young Chelsea players after the Premier League giants yesterday confirmed a full takeover of the Ligue 1 outfit.
Keller will remain in the role and there are presently no plans to change the club’s off-field structure and he believes that BlueCo, the parent company run by Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and the US-based private equity fund Clearlake Capital, will pump in significant money to turn the French club into a team capable of pushing towards the upper echelons of the domestic game.
But amid immediate complaints from supporters, who fear their team is to become a satellite club used to assist Chelsea, the former midfielder has promised that they will not be forced into taking young players on loan.
