The Racing Club of Strasbourg Alsace (RCSA) places a prime importance on the search for a goaltender, and more specifically on the extension of the loan of a Chelsea player. The 19-year-old Belgian Mike Penders is currently the preferred candidate to meet this need. This is in keeping with Djordje Petrovic’s successful loan last season, and discussions between Chelsea and Strasbourg are continuing to consider a new loan solution.

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Mike Penders is the primary goalkeeper. Although he has not yet played a game in Chelsea’s colours, Penders has had a significant experience on loan to Gênk, where he played 21 Jupileer Pro League matches. However, the realization of this loan depends on the release of seats among the players already on loan from the English club, including Kendry Paez and Mathis Amougou, whose situation is also being discussed.

It is important to note that the number of loans authorized by the same club is limited to three. As a result, internal negotiations are required to ensure compliance with these regulations and allow Mike Penders to enter the CBCN. The situation is therefore complex and requires coordination between the various parties involved in order to reach an agreement.
