Andrey Santos is reportedly on the verge of joining Manchester United after the Red Devils reached an agreement with Chelsea over the Brazilian midfielder’s transfer.
The two Premier League clubs are said to have finalized the framework of the deal, with only the final paperwork and personal terms remaining before the move can be officially announced. Santos joined Chelsea in 2023 as one of Brazil’s brightest young prospects but found first-team opportunities limited.
He spent the first part of his move to Chelsea on loan to Strasbourg which helped boost his reputation, attracting interest from several top European clubs before Manchester United won the race for his signature. The 22-year-old is expected to strengthen United’s midfield with his energy, defensive discipline, and ability to contribute going forward.
Santos has long been regarded as one of Brazil’s most promising midfield talents. Since joining Chelsea from Vasco da Gama, the youngster has impressed during loan spells, showcasing his composure on the ball, tactical intelligence, and ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch.
Manchester United have been searching for youthful reinforcements in midfield as they continue to rebuild their squad. Club officials reportedly view Santos as a player capable of developing into a long-term starter, thanks to his versatility, defensive awareness, and technical quality.
The move is seen as part of Manchester United’s plans to reshape their squad ahead of the new season. Neither club has officially confirmed the transfer yet, but an announcement is expected once all formalities are completed.
