Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Chelsea are assessing Andrey Santos’ role ahead of the summer window with Inter, Juventus, Manchester United and West Ham tracking his situation.
- Inter have held talks with intermediaries linked to Santos’ agents, according to Italian reports, as they plan a midfield refresh for next season.
- Chelsea are understood to value Santos at about €60–70 million after rejecting an offer of roughly €50 million from the Saudi market last summer.
- Santos shone during an 18‑month loan at Strasbourg but has not locked down a starting place at Stamford Bridge, logging about 1,000 Premier League minutes and 13 starts across the league and Champions League this season.
- England’s Profit and Sustainability Rules limit how much a club can lose over a set period, so selling a young player signed for a modest fee can book a large accounting profit, which is why a sale remains on the table even as no move is agreed.
