Julio Enciso has finalized a transfer from Brighton & Hove Albion to Strasbourg in a deal undisclosed by the clubs. Strasbourg, owned by BlueCo along with Chelsea, secured Enciso on a four-year contract.
Transition to Chelsea
Strasbourg's acquisition of Enciso is seen as a strategic move by BlueCo, hinting at a potential future transfer to Chelsea in 2026 or beyond. This aligns with the trend of players and staff moving from Brighton to Chelsea since BlueCo's takeover in 2022.
Player's Background and Brighton Stint
The Paraguay international, who made 57 appearances and scored five goals for Brighton, expressed his eagerness to play regularly, especially in a World Cup year. Brighton's manager, Fabian Hürzeler, acknowledged Enciso's aspirations but cited the inability to guarantee consistent game time as a factor in the transfer decision.
Enciso's move to Strasbourg offers him the opportunity to participate in Ligue 1 and European competitions, providing a new chapter in his career.
