Chelsea are working on a deal for Marseille youngster Saïd Remadnia, according to Africa Foot.
The 16-year-old initially made his way into Marseille’s U17 squad in 2024 before getting promoted to U19s in July. He made 11 appearances for the latter, scoring three goals and contributing an assist.
Africa Foot says his quick rise shows the Ligue 1 side’s confidence in his potential and this is said to be mainly because of form and maturity. They even label the winger ‘Marseille’s rising star’, and Chelsea are keen on securing his services.
The attacker’s profile and age fits into the Premier League side’s recruitment strategy. Blues officials recently met Remadnia’s agent to explain Chelsea’s medium and long-term plan project.
Afirca Foot state Enzo Maresca’s side have ‘significantly accelerated’ their interest in the young attacker.
It’s further claimed that advanced negotiations are ongoing between the Blues and the Algeria U17 international’s representatives. The outcome of these negotiations is unclear.
Remadnia will turn 18 years of age in March 2027. This means he won’t be able to move to the UK until that summer, should Chelsea complete his signing. There’s obviously yhe possibility of signing the youngster and placing him elsewhere.
His international future also has to be clarified. Remadnia was born in France to Algerian and Tunisian parents, making him eligible to represent three countries.
