Chelsea have reportedly received a £60 million offer for Andrey Santos from Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah.
Chelsea are conflicted on the decision after receiving a bid from Al-Qadsiah, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to sell Andrey Santos. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Saudi Pro League club are hoping to sign the 21-year-old Brazilian quickly. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Santos is not an important starter for Chelsea, and they might be tempted to cash in on him, having already mulled over a sale. The £60 million offer is quite attractive, and the Blues might feel that they could sell the youngster and replace him with that money. Chelsea have been very busy during the summer transfer window, and they will look to balance the books.
Selling Andrey Santos for £60 million would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether the young midfielder is open to joining them. Moving to Saudi Arabia might not be as appealing to the player at this stage of his career. The Brazilian international is quite young and he is yet to enter his peak.
The 21-year-old will want to compete at the highest level at this stage of his career. Moving to Saudi Arabia would make a lot of sense in the twilight stages of his career. It will be interesting to see whether the player decides to join the club.
Santos is a promising player
Andrey Santos impressed during his loan spell at RC Strasbourg, and there is no doubt that he is a talented player with a bright future. He could develop into an important first-team player for Chelsea with the right guidance. Selling him this summer could prove to be a mistake in the long term.
It will be interesting to see how Chelsea deal with the situation. There is no doubt that the reported offer on the table is quite significant for a young player. The Saudi Pro League club will hope that the offer presented will be enough to get the deal done. The Brazilian is a promising young talent, and he could develop into a future star for them..
