Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dropped some pretty big and positive news on a popular Chelsea player this week.
The Blues came from a goal down to score two very late goals to win the game 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon in what was a very dramatic game of ups and downs. But for 80 minutes, it was a lot of downs for Chelsea and the woes were continuing. Thankfully, they managed to get two late goals from individual brilliance to win the game.
EXCLUSIVE! Some Chelsea players not enjoying playing under Enzo Maresca this season!
Still, manager Enzo Maresca did not celebrate the Chelsea win over with the away fans like all the players did at the end of the game, which was very odd. But he has explained his reasoning for this in the post match press conference, although it wont wash.
The fans were furious throughout most of the game though and certainly let the manager and the players know this at half time and throughout the game. Pedro Neto responded to the fan anger in his post-match comments after the game on Sunday.
Chelsea’s decision makers have some big calls to make this coming summer transfer window, and one of them will be what happens with midfielder Andrey Santos. Will he stay? Go on loan again? Or be sold?
Romano on Santos
According to Romano, Santos is firmly in Enzo Maresca‘s plans, with Chelsea already rejecting a recent offer to sell him permanently.
Speaking about Santos’ situation on GiveMeSport’s Market Madness, the transfer expert said: “When they received important approaches, for example, I remember Porto. Porto a year ago were prepared to pay a big transfer fee to sign Andrey Santos on a permanent deal, to let Chelsea also have an important sell-on clause to have a future financial control of the player. Chelsea said no.
“Chelsea wanted to keep the player, send him on loan to Strasbourg and that was the clear idea. So at the moment, the clear indication I’m getting is that Andrey Santos will be one of the midfielders for Enzo Maresca next season.”
