BlueCo are going to make easy profit on Chelsea signing as he registers another goal contribution

After all of the criticism that Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital received after taking over Chelsea, many would now argue that their model is working.

Under their current ownership, Chelsea have bought many young players who have contributed to the team’s recent success and helped the club to make profit.

For example, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro, both still 23 years of age, just inspired the Blues to Club World Cup glory. You then have Noni Madueke, who was bought for just £30m and then sold to Arsenal for £52m.

It is thought that Chelsea are happy with the Madueke deal, and they could feel the same way with another one of their players if they decide to sell him in the future.

Dastan Satpaev bags 16th goal contribution of the season

In February, Chelsea agreed to sign Dastan Satpaev from Kairat Almaty, with the Kazakhstan international set to join the club when he turns 18.

Satpaev is still only 16 years of age, but that has not stopped him from making a real impact in the men’s game in Kazakhstan.

On Saturday, the young forward registered two assists in Kairat Almaty’s 3-1 win against Tobol Kostanay, taking him to 16 goal contributions this season.

Of course, the Kazakhstan Premier League is obviously not the strongest division in football. But Satpaev making such an impact at his age is still promising for Chelsea.

Satpaev is a low-risk signing and if he can show some of his potential in a top European league during a loan spell, then Boehly and co could be set to make an easy profit on him.

Chelsea to triple their money on Dastan Satpaev

Chelsea only paid £3.3m to sign Satpaev, so it should not be too difficult to sell him for more than that, especially when you look at some of the other deals that BlueCo have done.

For example, they were able to sell Angelo Gabriel to Al-Nassr for £19m last year. He cost a bit more than what Chelsea are paying Kairat Almaty for Satpaev, but the Brazilian never even kicked a ball for the Blues.

A successful loan spell at sister club Strasbourg or someone else, and it would not be a shock to see Chelsea move Satpaev on for £10m or perhaps even more.
