Angelo Gabriel was sold by Chelsea to Al-Nassr for £19 million after just one year
Chelsea have confirmed the £19m sale of Brazilian wonder kid Angelo Gabriel to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr – less than a year after he arrived at Stamford Bridge from Santos.
The Story So Far
Chelsea splurged €15 million (£13m) to bring in Angelo Gabriel from Santos a year ago and loaned the Brazil teenager to Strasbourg, their sister club last term. Meanwhile, the 19-year-old forward enjoyed a successful loan spell in France scoring four goals from twenty-one top-tier outings, offering brief glimpses of his undeniable talent.
A Summer of Big Changes
Angelo Gabriel’s departing takes the total exodus from Chelsea this summer to 26 as the Blues press forward with an aggressive rejig process. Ultimately, the club is seeking to balance their books and have a net spend of zero by the time that this transfer window closes. Chelsea has added a €23 million (£19.4m) deal in which they will receive a percentage of any profit from his future sale to the initiative with Angelo moving on to Al-Nassr as part of that project.

Angelo’s Rapid Rise
Angelo received his break in Brazil, with the wide man becoming the youngest ever player to grace a Brazilian Serie A match at 15 and 308 days when he made history. He also became the youngest goal scorer in the history of Copa Libertadores when he scored at only 16 years old
What’s Next?
It should not take too long for fans to watch Angelo in action with the returning Cristiano Ronaldo. The Brazilian wonderkid is due to make his bow for Al-Nassr on September 13 in a highly-anticipated fixture with Al-Ahli, following the upcoming international break.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be in action again back in the Premier League when they host Bournemouth on September 14 before returning to European competition.
The signing certainly turns heads and now it is time for Angelo Gabriel to step into this new phase of his career as he shares the field with one of football’s all-time greatest.
