RC Strasbourg president Mark Keller has looked to temper expectations regarding the immediate movement of players between the French club and Chelsea and suggested that Le Racing will not simply be a developing ground for Blues' prospects.
BlueCo, who completed the takeover of Chelsea from Roman Abramovich last summer, have now invested in a stake in Strasbourg securing a close relationship between the teams. BlueCo say the move will 'further our presence in European football, alongside our ownership of Chelsea' and will 'create huge opportunities to share knowledge and expertise'.
It is not a move that has come without criticism, with the French side's Ultras having already shown their displeasure with messages of 'Boehly not welcome' present. However, unlike at Chelsea, the investors are hoping to utilise talents already at the club, including Keller.
