# Fabrizio Romano Andrey Santos ‘Here We Go’ Man United

Andrey Santos is expected to undergo his Manchester United medical on today, after the club [agreed a £50m deal with Chelsea](https://readmanutd.com/2026/07/08/manchester-united-agree-50m-andrey-santos-deal-with-chelsea/) for the Brazil international midfielder.

Sky Sports reports the package is worth £48m guaranteed plus £2m in add-ons, with Chelsea retaining a 10 per cent sell-on clause. Personal terms are already in place, and David Ornstein reports that Chelsea have granted the 22-year-old permission to complete his medical. [Fabrizio Romano](https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2074908037454663883?s=20) stated on Wednesday night that the examination was scheduled for Thursday.

Santos faced a fight for regular starts at Stamford Bridge, with Moises Caicedo’s contract extension until 2033 blocking his path to a first-team role. United identified the Brazilian as a key piece of their midfield overhaul this summer.

If the medical passes without issue, Santos would become United’s second signing of the window, following [Ederson’s move from Atalanta](https://readmanutd.com/2026/07/06/ederson-medical-manchester-united-transfer-on-track/). An announcement could follow within days, giving Michael Carrick two new midfielders in place before pre-season training begins at Carrington.
