Chelsea have agreed a \u00a350m deal with Manchester United for the sale of Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos.<\/strong><\/p>\n Chelsea will receive an initial \u00a348m up front for Santos, with an additional \u00a32m structured in what are described as achievable add-ons. The Blues have also successfully negotiated a 10% sell-on clause, ensuring a slice of any future sale.<\/p>\n Santos, 22, is now set to become Chelsea\u2019s third significant departure of the summer transfer window, following the sale of defender Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid and winger Tyrique George\u2019s move to Everton.<\/p>\n Santos was\u00a0signed by Chelsea from Vasco da Gama in January 2023 but spent his initial two years out on loan.<\/p>\n He immediately returned to Vasco for a short stint, followed by a frustrating spell at Nottingham Forest, where he made just two appearances before being recalled in January 2024. Santos then found his feet during back-to-back loan spells in France with Ligue 1 side Strasbourg.<\/p>\n He finally made his competitive Chelsea debut in June 2025 during the FIFA Club World Cup in a 3-0 victory over ES Tunis, ultimately helping the Blues win the tournament. Over the course of the 2025\/26 campaign, Santos made 27 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals.<\/p>\n Get the latest direct to your phone \u2013 follow West London Sport\u2019s WhatsApp channel<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chelsea have agreed a \u00a350m deal with Manchester United for the sale of Brazilian midfielder…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16105,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"WhatsApp\"\/](\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/6\/6b\/WhatsApp.svg\")
