Manchester United complete the signing of Brazil international midfielder Andrey Santos from Chelsea, with both clubs announcing the deal on Monday. Reports across multiple outlets place the transfer fee at an initial £48 million, rising to as much as £50 million depending on add-ons. The Athletic describes Santos as a 22-year-old signing, while other sources align on his age and international status. Manchester Evening News and Yahoo Sports also report that United finalise the agreement with Chelsea after reaching terms on the fee. Legit.ng adds that Santos includes a 10% sell-on clause and that he undergoes a medical at Old Trafford ahead of his move. Coverage also notes United’s broader midfield recruitment efforts around the same period, including references to other transfer targets and ongoing negotiations, but the central confirmed action is the completion of Santos’s transfer from Chelsea to Manchester United. Multiple outlets refer to the clubs’ official announcements and United’s confirmation that Santos is part of their summer rebuild. Sources do not present final details beyond the reported fee structure and the sell-on clause.
