Eight clubs are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Brazilian midfield whizkid Andrey Santos from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Andrey Santos has piqued the attention of several clubs across Europe with his exploits for RC Strasbourg. Eight outfits are keen on signing the Brazilian midfield whizkid, and they have approached the West London club to discuss a possible move for the summer transfer window.
Andrey Santos and his frustrating Chelsea stint
Andrey Santos has endured a frustrating spell since joining Chelsea from Vasco da Gama in a deal worth £20 million in January 2023. However, the South American midfielder has been away from the West London club in the last two years, embarking on loan spells with Vasco da Gama, Nottingham Forest, and RC Strasbourg.
Chelsea’s sister club initially signed the 20-year-old midfield prospect in February 2024, and he has been with the Ligue 1 club since then. Santos has contributed to 15 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions this season, finding the back of the net ten times and providing five assists.
Meanwhile, Santos’s exploits at RC Strasbourg have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked the Brazilian midfield whizkid with European bigwigs like AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. However, the report by TEAMtalk does not mention those outfits.
What next?
The report has claimed that eight clubs are keen on signing Andrey Santos in the summer transfer window, and they have approached Chelsea to enquire about a possible move. Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature. Both Premier League outfits have shown ambition in the market and want to become European regulars.
Nottingham Forest will hope to qualify for the UEFA Champions League by finishing in the top five, while a top-half finish is on the cards for Bournemouth. Half a dozen other clubs are also keen on signing the promising midfielder, and the youngster’s stance over a move might be intriguing.
Recent reports have claimed that Chelsea might not cash in on the 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder in the summer transfer window. However, the report by TEAMtalk has suggested that the Blues want to double their investment of £20 million to part ways with the youngster.
