According to reports from L’Equipe, Chelsea considers Diarra a future star and sees him as a key part of their plans. Despite interest from clubs like Lens and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Chelsea extended Diarra’s contract until 2028 in the summer, highlighting their commitment to his development.
This news comes as a boost to Strasbourg head coach Patrick Vieira, who has utilized Diarra in various midfield roles this season. Chelsea’s decision to reject the bids also demonstrates their confidence in the player, especially considering the scrutiny their ownership of Strasbourg has faced.
