Leeds United Miss Out on Facundo Buonanotte as Forward Joins Chelsea on Loan

Chelsea secured Facundo Buonanotte on a season-long loan from Brighton without a purchase option to reinforce midfield amidst injuries, with Brighton monitoring his development closely, manager Fabian Hrzeler said.

  • Facundo Buonanotte, the 20-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder, has moved to Chelsea on a loan deal for the 2025–26 season, joining from Brighton and Hove Albion.
  • Brighton deemed Buonanotte surplus early in the summer, leading Chelsea to pursue a low-risk loan after declining to sign Xavi Simons.
  • Buonanotte adds midfield depth, expected to cover central attacking midfield and wide positions while Chelsea competes on four fronts this season.
  • Buonanotte said, "I'm very happy to join Chelsea," calling it "a great opportunity," and Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler praised his potential and development chance.
  • The loan includes no purchase option, and Brighton will monitor Buonanotte's progress while Chelsea undergoes a busy transfer window with several player exits.
