According to CaughtOffside, Andrey Santos is rumoured to be joining Manchester United. Santos has made 23 appearances in the Premier League this season, starting in 10 of those matches.

Ben Jacobs confirmed that Andrey Santos could be sold in the summer if Chelsea sign another midfielder, and Chelsea is currently being linked with Bayern Munich's Aleksandar Pavlovic. Jacobs mentioned Manchester United as a possible destination. Manchester United's interest persists, and this has been confirmed by Vasco da Gama insider Colina 1927 and NTVASCAINOS. Vasco da Gama is interested in Santos being transferred because they have a 2.5% sell-on clause from when they sold him to Chelsea for €12.5m in 2023. Manchester United are described as being in a leading position to sign the player, but Juventus also has an interest. A summer transfer is possible because Chelsea's board reportedly does not view the Brazilian player as essential. Santos has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €50.1 million, which would mean Vasco would receive approximately €1.25m if a club were to pay a fee in that range.

According to Jacobs, Chelsea's stance that Andrey Santos is not for sale is one they would probably reinforce approaching the summer. Jacobs outlines a scenario in which a further decrease in Santos' playing time could potentially cause Chelsea to become more open to selling him. Fraser Fletcher revealed in April of the previous year that Santos might compel an exit if his playing time does not improve. Sources had previously indicated to TEAMtalk that the player could seek an exit in the future. Chelsea, who paid £20 million for Santos, would probably demand double that amount for a sale. A transfer to Manchester United could be tempting for Santos, but he would likely seek guarantees of consistent minutes before agreeing to the move.
