That’s according to BBC Sport, which claims that Chelsea are still interested in Granit Xhaka and also have Valentin Barco due to join from Strasbourg.
That could free up Santos to leave, with Chelsea said to be open to a sale, and with some clubs showing an interest in the 22-year-old.
Should Chelsea cash in on Andrey Santos?
Chelsea have invested a lot in top young talents in recent years, with this current ownership seeming to favour finding prospects on the cheap who can be sold at a profit later.
Santos could undoubtedly be someone who’d now command a bigger fee than Chelsea paid for him, and Man United clearly seem to rate the player.
With Santos not quite living up to expectations so far at Stamford Bridge, now seems like a good time to make some money from selling him as it’s hard to imagine him suddenly cementing his place as a starter in Xabi Alonso’s side.
