After impressing on loan during the second half of this season in Ligue 1, Strasbourg made it clear to Chelsea how much they wanted to take the Brazilian midfielder back on loan again, this time for the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign.
Though Chelsea new manager, Enzo Maresca is considering on keeping the Brazilian wonderkid at this club this season.
Close source at Chelsea told Footyvaild that, he has no doubts that Andrey Santos is a perfect fit to play under Enzo Maresca.
His ball retention is out of this world. He can play as a No 6 or a No 8 — so he is versatile.”
Though Footyvaild understands that Chelsea are open to the possibility of loaning Andrey Santos back to Strasbourg, where he spent the second half of last season. This was not the case before.
The 20-year-old may take some convincing though, when Enzo Maresca still have Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu to choose from in central midfield, players that cost nearly £300million between them and of course Conor Gallagher who might probably not be sold despite speculations.
