In the next few hours, Atlético Nacional will close the surprise sale of the attacker Óscar Perea, 18, who had a contract until December 2024 and could be free. Thus, he moved quickly and took financial advantage of one of his young promises.
The operation is around $5.5 million, and it will be sold to the investment group that owns Chelsea (Chelsea Co), chaired by Todd Boehly.
Thus, Perea will travel to London to undergo medical examinations, abandoning the Colombia Under-20 National Team concentration, with which he was preparing to play friendly matches and carry out a microcycle of work.
However, the plans that the Chelsea consortium has are not in England: Óscar Perea will be loaned to Racing Club de Strasbourg, from France’s Ligue 1, a team that belongs to this investment group.
Strasbourg would be the team that helps Perea mature, and there he would have competitive minutes in the next season.
