Softfootball has reliably learned that Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos this summer.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the European Champions are looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new season.
It is understood that Enrique is keen on the signing of Santos, who impressed in Ligue 1 with Strasbourg over the past year. The Spaniard is aiming to retain the Champions League in the upcoming season, and believes he needs more quality in the midfield.
It is believed that Chelsea want to keep hold of the Brazilian but would be willing to entertain offers of at least £51m for the player.
Santos would provide competition for the likes of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, and Joao Neves in midfield at the home of the French and European champions. The 21-year-old spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg from Stamford Bridge, helping improve the middle section of Liam Rosenior’s side.
Santos is currently with the Chelsea squad at the Fifa Club World already making his presence felt. The Brazilian has recently stated that he expects his immediate future to be in West London and Chelsea following a temporary spell in France.
Recall, Softfootball had previously reported that Arsenal are pushing to sign Andrey Santos amid PSG competition, with midfielders Jorginho gone and Thomas Partey likely on the way out, Arsenal are eager to reinforce that area, and Santos could become the next addition.
Outstanding on the pitch and a charmer off it, Andrey Santos is proving himself a genuine force among the big names. Admirers are gathering, enquiries are being made, and it’s becoming more and more clear that Chelsea have a decision to make.
