Chelsea set to sign 21-year-old versatile midfielder this summer

Barco, previously managed by Rosenior at Strasbourg, brings a versatile profile to a crowded squad currently featuring Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Romeo Lavia.

The transfer highlights a calculated shift under Rosenior. However, the addition of Barco comes at a delicate time, coinciding with the suspension of Enzo Fernandez following his recent comments regarding club culture.
