Manchester United has reportedly reached an agreement with Chelsea for the transfer of Brazilian midfielder André Santos. The comprehensive deal is valued at £50 million (approximately €58 million). The payment structure involves an initial upfront payment of £48 million, supplemented by an additional £2 million add-on if the player is sold within the next two years.
Furthermore, the contract stipulates that Manchester United will retain a 10% percentage of any subsequent sale of the player. Sources indicate that negotiations concluded rapidly following the weekend, leading Manchester United to officially express significant interest in the 22-year-old Brazilian. Santos has since been granted permission to undergo medical examinations, paving the way for the signing of a contract at Old Trafford.
In related transfer news, the club’s interest extends to Santos’ compatriot, Ederson. Ederson has also been given medical clearance, with the transfer contingent on his departure from Atalanta for a fee of £35 million. This deal would also include a further £2 million component should the player be sold again within the stipulated two-year period.
The successful acquisition of both players would represent a major investment for Manchester United, utilizing multiple multi-million pound deals to bolster the squad.
