Man Utd Agree £50m Deal to Sign Chelsea Midfielder Andrey Santos

The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences. Who did what, where, when, and why it matters. Not a summary of everything — the one thing that makes someone stop scrolling.

Manchester United has agreed a £50 million deal to sign Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos from Chelsea. Santos, 22, has emerged as one of the most highly rated young midfielders in Europe and is set to join Manchester United soon.

The agreement is understood to be worth an initial £48 million, with a further £2 million in performance-related add-ons. Chelsea will also retain a 10 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal for Santos. Santos is now set to undergo a medical ahead of completing his move to Old Trafford, the club's home ground.

Santos, a Brazilian professional footballer, has played for Chelsea since 2020. He joined the English club on a four-year contract from Vasco da Gama and has since become a key player for the Blues. Santos has also been capped by the Brazil national under-17 team.

The deal comes as United continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Premier League season, while Chelsea are expected to reinvest the funds as part of their ongoing squad restructuring. Further details on Santos's contract and expected unveiling are anticipated once the medical process is completed.
