Transfer: Fabrizio Romano gives update on Chelsea’s deal for Brazilian midfielder
Football transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, has provided the latest update on Chelsea’s deal for Brazilian midfielder, Andrey Santos.
Romano said Chelsea is poised to complete the signing of Santos for an initial € 12.5 million deal with add-ons.
According to him, the Premier League giants will end up paying more than €20 million potential fee in the future for the 18-year-old star if they trigger his release clause.
Romano disclosed this in a tweet via his Twitter handle on Wednesday.
He tweeted, “Chelsea are set to seal Andrey Santos deal with Vasco da Gama as contracts are being prepared on both clubs and player side.
“Been told it’s €12.5m guaranteed fee plus add-ons. But Chelsea will not end up paying more than €20m potential fee in the future.”
Santos, who has represented Brazil at the U20 level, netted eight league goals for Vasco de Gama last season.
