Chelsea defender Mamadou Sarr is expected to join La Liga club Real Sociedad on a season-long loan to secure more regular playing time. The 20-year-old Senegalese international, who joined Chelsea from Strasbourg in 2025, has struggled to secure a consistent role in the first team under head coach Liam Rosenior.

Real Sociedad has since completed the signing, securing the defender on a loan deal that runs until June 2027 with no purchase option. Head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo identified Sarr as a priority target to strengthen the defense, citing his physical profile, speed, and ability to play on both the right and left sides. Sarr has traveled to San Sebastián for medical examinations.
