Manchester United Eye Chelsea’s Andrey Santos for Midfield Reinforcements
Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos has emerged as a key target for Manchester United as the club seeks to bolster its central midfield options. According to reports from Sky Sports, United’s interest in the 22-year-old Brazilian is still in its preliminary stages.
The Red Devils plan to add two central midfielders to their squad during the current transfer window. This follows an agreement for Ederson, a midfielder from Atalanta and the Brazil national team, who is set to join the club after the 2026 World Cup.
United faces challenges in the midfield, particularly after the recent injury to Manuel Ugarte during the tournament and the departure of veteran player Casemiro.
Chelsea is reportedly open to negotiating a deal for Santos, indicating that the club does not consider him ‘untouchable’ and may entertain offers if they meet the right financial terms.
