Chelsea’s Sale of Angelo Gabriel to Al-Nassr Sparks Mixed Fan Reactions
Chelsea has officially announced the sale of Angelo Gabriel to Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, a move that has generated a variety of responses from the fanbase.
Angelo Gabriel’s Journey at Chelsea
The 19-year-old winger, who joined Chelsea just last summer, spent the previous season on loan at Strasbourg. Despite high hopes, Angelo never made a competitive appearance for Chelsea’s first team and has now made a permanent move to Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, it was reported by Gianluca Di Marzio last year that former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wanted to keep Angelo, but the Brazilian teenager has left without realizing his potential at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea Fans React to Angelo’s Departure
Many Chelsea supporters on social media seem to understand and even support the decision to sell Angelo. The general consensus among fans is that his exit makes sense, especially with the highly anticipated arrival of Estevao Willian in 2025. In June, Chelsea announced that they had secured the signing of Palmeiras’ 17-year-old wonderkid Estevao, who will join the squad next summer.
Here’s a glimpse of what some Chelsea fans are saying on X (formerly Twitter):
One fan commented, “Angelo is a good player, but with Estevao coming next season, it would have been an uphill task to break into the Chelsea squad.”
The Future of Chelsea’s Right Wing
At present, Noni Madueke is shining in the right-wing position for Chelsea. Looking ahead to next season, Estevao Willian will be another strong contender for that role. Despite being only 17, Estevao has already earned a call-up to Brazil’s senior squad during the current international break, fueling even more excitement among Chelsea fans about his future impact.
While Estevao’s arrival brings hope for a generational talent, only time will tell if he can live up to the hype. Nevertheless, given the depth of competition on the right wing, Angelo’s pathway into Chelsea’s starting XI was always going to be challenging, making this sale a practical decision for both the player and the club.
