Arsenal is credited with an interest in Andrey Santos after looking at the Chelsea midfielder on loan in Strasbourg this season, but the Brazilian will not be sold cheaply
This summer, Chelsea can demand no less than £ 50 million for their much -sought -after midfielder, Andrey Santos, in the aftermath of the interest of a large number of clubs throughout Europe, including Arsenal.
Santos, 21, has to appear a senior for the blues, but this season has made a considerable impression on loan at the Sister Club of the Londoners, Strasbourg this season. And after 10 goals in 32 Ligue 1 -performances this period, Chelsea must have sufficient opportunity to make a quick profit on the Brazilian if they want to do.
The interest rate of Arsenal in Santos came up this month and it is said that Paris Saint-Germain also chases the young person in case he comes on the market this summer.
A new report from Sport claims that this will probably be the case with Chelsea who is open to cash in Santos – as long as his lovers are willing to splash £ 50 million to land him.
That would be a considerable profit at the £ 18 million Chelsea, divorced to sign the Midfield Maestro of Vasco da Gama. Although Santos may have many lovers, it is still to be seen whether Arsenal would be willing to meet those requirements.
Enzo Maresca was recently without obligation when the possibility of Santos with the first team of Stamford Bridge was raised in a press conference next season.
The Italian replied: “Now we know that Andrey is doing well. But at the moment we are simply focused on how we end this season. And when we prepare this season, we will think about next season.”
Toodd Boehly, co-owner of Chelsea, was more enthusiastic about the opportunities of Santos to present the first team of the club during a appearance on the Qatar Economic Forum this week.
Boehly hinted that Santos would play at the upcoming Club World Cup and said: “We are laser focused on club's World Cup. We have some players who come to us [like] Andrey Santos. We are very enthusiastic about him and what he can add to the team. “
Santos himself was not sure what would bring next season when he was asked last month and said: “I don't think a specific decision was made. Nobody immediately came to talk to me. Everything is in the hands of the club and my agents.”
