Transfer: Man Utd Agree £50m Deal with Chelsea for Andrey Santos

United are seeking midfield reinforcements after Casemiro left and Manuel Ugarte was injured, with Chelsea set to receive £48 million plus add-ons.

  • On Wednesday, Manchester United agreed to a £48 million deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos, with the 22-year-old set to move to Old Trafford on a permanent transfer.
  • Manager Michael Carrick is seeking a midfield overhaul after Casemiro's departure and Manuel Ugarte's serious knee injury, requiring reinforcements before friendly fixtures in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Ireland.
  • The deal includes £2 million in potential add-ons and a 10 per cent sell-on clause, ensuring Chelsea retains financial interest in any future sale of the Brazilian midfielder.
  • Santos has been granted permission to travel to Manchester for a medical examination and is poised to partner new arrival Ederson, who is joining from Atalanta.
  • Despite earning six caps for Brazil, the midfielder was omitted from Carlo Ancelotti's World Cup squad this summer, following previous loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Strasbourg.
