Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos is reportedly wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan this summer.
The young Brazilian is currently spending the campaign on loan at Strasbourg in France, with hopes of being integrated into the Stamford Bridge squad next term.
Santos endured a difficult temporary spell at Nottingham Forest last season but has blossomed into a senior star in Ligue 1, scoring nine goals from midfield across 25 games.
As well as eyeing a spot in Enzo Maresca’s plans for 2025-26, the 20-year-old is also pushing towards regular appearances for the Brazil national team, having made his debut in 2023.
Santos and Strasbourg are in the midst of a glorious seven-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 as they chase down Nice in the lowest of the Champions League places.
According to Spanish publication Fichajes, Santos will be a midfielder in serious demand once the summer transfer window swings open in June.
Whilst a campaign under the wing of Maresca in West London is not out of the question, it is believed that the Brazilian could be on the move.
The report claims that both PSG and AC Milan are keen on securing the highly-rated services of Santos before the beginning of the 2025-26 term.
Les Parisiens are supposedly evaluating how they could facilitate a permanent swoop for the player, whilst the Rossoneri are targeting a loan deal with Chelsea.
It is understood that the Premier League Blues are yet to make a final decision regarding their stance on the destination of Santos next term.
One of a seemingly-endless list of players on loan around Europe from Chelsea, Santos needs to continue to set the world alight in France to be handed an opportunity at Stamford Bridge next term.
Scoring on 10 occasions from the engine room so far this season, the 20-year-old has proven his ability to come up with game-winning moments.
However, Chelsea may feel that Santos would benefit from another campaign away from West London, potentially stepping up the pedigree of his temporary club compared to Strasbourg.
By that metric, San Siro and AC Milan appears to be an interesting option for the Brazilian, who could fill the gap left by Ismael Bennacer in the Rossoneri ranks.
