In March, when Vasco da Gama managed to bring Andrey Santos back from Chelsea on a short loan spell, they knew they wouldn’t be able to use the midfielder a lot.
The Brazilian side accepted having the player until the end of June, and the Blues demanded that he’d be released for the U-20 World Cup in that period as well.
With Andrey doing well for Vasco in this little time, there’s an obvious question arising, which is about a potential extension to that loan. And outlet Papo Na Colina talked about that this week.
It’s said Chelsea are ‘excited’ with Andrey’s performances in Brazil and believe he’s getting a work permit in the summer.
Vasco have accepted the situation and should move for a replacement in the coming months.
Chelsea, meanwhile, prepare to make use of the youngster, for whom they paid €12.5m in January.
