Manchester United agree £50m deal for Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos... as Blues announce £40m Quenda signing
Chelsea have also signed Geovany Quenda for around £40 million as both clubs reshape their squads with major summer moves.
- On Wednesday, Manchester United agreed a £50million deal to sign midfielder Andrey Santos from Chelsea. The 23-year-old has received permission to travel to Manchester today for a medical at Old Trafford.
- Manager Michael Carrick identified a midfield gap following Casemiro's departure and Manuel Ugarte's extended absence due to a World Cup injury. The move addresses the Red Devils' urgent need to bolster central midfield options.
- The transfer involves a £48million initial fee with £2million in add-ons, plus a 10% sell-on clause for Chelsea. Former Blue Joe Cole described Santos as a 'very, very good player with massive promise.'
- Finding playing time at Chelsea proved difficult for Santos, who struggled to displace Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandes, and Romeo Lavia. The move offers the midfielder a clearer path to regular appearances under Carrick.
- Santos is set to become the first signing of the summer, with Atalanta midfielder Ederson also expected to move to Old Trafford after a £38.8million package was agreed earlier in the transfer window.
