At Standard, the academy is not short of talent. But not all of them make it to the first team, for various reasons.
Among those who started with the Liégeois, there is one whose father was Rouche, Diego Moreira. His father Almani spent time on the banks of the Meuse from 2001 to 2006 and left only good memories with the supporters.
End of the Chelsea adventure?
His son Diego, meanwhile, made the choice to move to Benfica at the age of 16 to finish his training and make his professional debut. He quickly caught the attention of Chelsea, who decided to recruit him last year.
Loaned last season to Olympique Lyonnais, the 20-year-old winger should play in France again this season and this time make a permanent transfer. Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that an agreement has been reached with Strasbourg for a permanent transfer but with a buyout clause of 2 million euros included in the contract.
Moreira’s Chelsea adventure may therefore not be completely over if he performs well and the Blues feel he has a place in the team.
