Chelsea is undoubtedly one of the most active clubs in the summer transfer window, and there should be as many departures as they arrive at Stamford Bridge.
Santos has had a great season on loan at Strasbourg, with 10 goals and two assists in all competitions. His performance in France would not only attract Chelsea’s attention, but he would also have won other European clubs.
It has yet to be decided whether Santos will return to Chelsea in the summer and join Enzo Maresca’s team next season. If not, he would certainly be a candidate to be sold, given his high value at the moment.
Atletico Madrid is enthusiastic about Andrei Santos’ summer moves
And if Chelsea need to consider selling, one club that is expected to move is Atletico Madrid. As reported by Fichajes, La Liga Giants is very interested in Brazilian midfielders.
It also notes that Rome, Juventus, Naples, Naples, Bayern Munich, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain also maintain the tabs in Santos, with Chelsea reportedly being able to sell for a fee in the 40m euro area.
Santos would be sure it would be difficult to force a battle for the opening at Chelsea, given that Maresca already has things like Moises Caseco, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia at his disposal and already has arriving Dario Esgo. So, if the sale takes place this summer, it may be perfect for all involved.
