Buonanotte and Garnacho will not be able to play together in Champions League. |
Argentine offensive midfielder Facundo Buonanotte is ceded by Brighton this season as a replacement for Cole Palmer, who is out of a groin injury.
By signing the contract, Buonanotte declared enthusiastically: «This is a big step in my career. I will have the opportunity to play the Champions League for the first time; a great challenge ».
However, surprisingly, it was out of the list of the best in Chelsea for the Champions League group stage. The surprise was even greater when Levi Colwill was included, who was expected to miss most of the season after suffering an anterior cross ligament injury.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has had no problem signing a large number of new players, including João Pedro, Estevao Willian, Jorrel Hato, Darío EsSUGO, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho (which will wear Dorsal 49). This success comes after last summer invested more than 300 million pounds in the sale of players, a record for a Premier League team in a single signing market.

The garnacho will play the Champions League next season. |
Buonanotte cannot be included in list B, where only Tyrique George, Romeo Lavia and Josh Acheampong are. According to the UEFA Regulation, list B only includes players born from January 1, 2003 who have been in their club for at least two consecutive years since their 15th birthday (or three consecutive years, with a maximum of one year of transfer in the national team).
Buonanotte was born in December 2004, but joined Brighton only in January 2023 and has not had enough time to meet this requirement, which means that it will not be eligible for the Champions League until January 2026.
Before the elimination phase, clubs that are classified for the group stage will be able to sign up to three new players before the deadline of 23:00 hours on February 5, 2026.
