Chelsea’s New Signing Dario Essugo Dropped from Portugal U21 Squad
London, UK - Chelsea's latest acquisition, 18-year-old midfielder Dario Essugo, has been omitted from the Portugal U21 squad ahead of their upcoming friendly against England. The decision comes shortly after Essugo's high-profile transfer to Chelsea, reportedly worth £18 million, from the Portuguese club Sporting CP.
Essugo's exclusion from the national team has sparked discussions across football circles, with many attributing the move to his recent transfer to the Premier League. Portugal's U21 coach, Rui Jorge, has not commented on the specific reasons behind the decision, but it's speculated that Essugo's focus on settling into his new club may have influenced the call.
This development raises questions about the impact of major transfers on young players' international careers. Essugo, who was expected to be a key part of Portugal's youth setup, will now have to prove himself at Chelsea to regain his spot in the national team.
Chelsea fans and football enthusiasts will be watching closely to see how Essugo adapts to the demands of the Premier League and whether he can bounce back from this setback on the international stage.
