Last season, Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos made a strong impression while on loan at RC Strasbourg, becoming a key figure in their Ligue 1 campaign. Since returning to the Blues, his opportunities have been limited, totaling just 378 minutes of action so far this season.
With the winter transfer window approaching, questions are starting to surface about whether the Brazilian might look elsewhere for more consistent playing time, especially with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon. Limited minutes could hurt his chances of earning a spot on Brazil’s squad.
Fichajes previously reported that PSG and AC Milan had shown interest in Santos ahead of the summer transfer window, though nothing materialized. Given his current situation, it’s fair to wonder if the Parisians might revisit the possibility of a deal in January should the opportunity arise.
Chelsea Have No Plans to Sell Young Talent to Rivals
Football Insider reports that Manchester United are targeting Santos as they look to bolster their midfield in the January transfer window. Ruben Amorim has made signing a new midfielder a top priority for the upcoming window.
The young Brazilian is reportedly open to a move away from Chelsea, but the Blues are not planning to sell him to another Premier League club.

Recently, Fichajes reported that Manchester United had decisively entered the race for Andrey Santos, the Chelsea midfielder who was seeking more consistent opportunities to aid his development.
The Red Devils reportedly view the young midfielder as a long-term prospect. However, they face resistance from Chelsea, who have no intention of easing his departure to a direct rival. Furthermore, the report notes that United are considering making an offer to convince the London club in the coming months.
Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can convince the Blues to sell the player to a Premier League team.
