Manchester United have agreed a deal worth up to £50 million to sign Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos, according to multiple British media reports, although neither Manchester United nor Chelsea has officially confirmed the transfer.
Sky Sports late Wednesday reported that “Manchester United have agreed a £50m deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos.”
The broadcaster adds that the Brazilian is expected to complete the remaining formalities before the move is finalised.
The Guardian UK reports that United have completed a £48 million deal after earlier revealing Chelsea’s valuation of the midfielder.
The newspaper says the move comes after United stepped up their pursuit of the 22-year-old.
According to The Athletic, as cited by TNT Sports, the clubs have agreed a fee of “£48m plus £2m in add-ons,” with “personal terms agreed” and Santos “granted permission to undergo a medical.”
The Times reports that United have secured a £50 million transfer and says Chelsea negotiated a 10 per cent sell-on clause as part of the agreement.
