Manchester United reached a £50 million agreement with Chelsea to sign 22-year-old midfielder Andrey Santos, including £48 million upfront and £2 million in add-ons, with a 10 percent sell-on clause. Santos is expected to partner incoming signing Ederson as part of Michael Carrick’s midfield rebuild and will undergo a medical in Manchester. His arrival follows a rotational season at Chelsea and previous loan spells, filling the gap left by Casemiro’s departure. His inclusion in Brazil’s preliminary World Cup squad and recent rest period position him well for United’s upcoming pre-season preparations.
