Recruited by Chelsea from Vasco da Gama for 12 million euros in 2023, Andrey Santos was loaned to Strasbourg last summer. And the Brazilian midfielder quickly established himself as an essential player in Alsace.
At only 20 years old, Andrey Santos quickly established himself as an essential player in Liam Rosenior's squad in Strasbourg. Loaned by Chelsea, the midfielder has already scored five goals and delivered an assist and on the Racing side, we are already dreaming of seeing him extend the adventure at the end of the season. A new loan could in particular be mentioned between Strasbourg and Chelsea, who remember have the same owner, namely Blue Co. But in a press conference given this Friday, Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea coach, cast a chill over the the future of Andrey Santos in France.
Chelsea count on Andrey Santos
Delighted with the player's performances in Strasbourg, the Spanish coach seems to be counting on him at Chelsea for next season, very bad news for Racing. “If he continues like this, he could be an option for us (next season). For some players, it is better to go on loan in order to prove themselves and return to Chelsea at the right time. commented the new coach of the Blues, who is making a very good start on the Chelsea bench and who will logically be listened to by his bosses during the next transfer window.
Suffice to say that for Strasbourg, it will become very complicated to keep Andrey Santos if Enzo Maresca makes him a player to count on for the coming season, even if the competition will be colossal among the Blues next year in this position.
