The world’s best club will strengthen their midfield with a significant investment.
Paris Saint-Gemain, the reigning champions of the UEFA Champions League, are already working to build their squad for the upcoming season, and manager Luis Enrique has been clear to the board: a top signing is needed to strengthen the midfield. With the signing of Zabarnyi almost in place to bolster the defence, the Asturian coach’s next target is Brazilian Andrey Santos – one of the great talents in South American football, currently belonging to Chelsea.

The 21-year-old midfielder has excelled this season in Ligue 1, where he has played for Strasbourg on loan and made a positive impression with his presence, performances and maturity on the pitch. His efforts have not gone unnoticed at PSG, who see him as an ideal piece to increase competitiveness in a midfield that already has players like Vitinha, João Neves, Fabián Ruiz and Warren Zaire-Emery.
PSG want to sign Andrey Santos
Chelsea, aware of the player’s potential, are not ruling out a sale, but are demanding a solid offer of around €60 million. PSG, who have the financial capacity to handle such operations, are considering the possibility of a transfer while also looking at other potential exits to balance the squad.
Luis Enrique believes Andrey Santos can become crucial, not only because of his current skills, but also because of his development potential. In a team that aims to defend its continental title, the Brazilian could become one of the new faces of the new project. Discussions are underway, and PSG are already laying the groundwork for what could be one of the big transfer successes in the summer transfer window.
