Since Chelsea bought Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama at the start of the year, the Brazilian media has been reporting that the Rio de Janeiro club have a debt with the player.
Even though they had him back on loan, it’s well known he was suing them for a R$662.1 (€125k) debt which was related to a bonus from his last contract renewal.
According to a new report from UOL, Vasco already paid 30%, including the legal expenses. There’s now a remaining debt of R$463k (€88k), and Vasco are asking the Brazilian courts if they can pay that in six instalments.
Despite playing for the Blues in pre-season, he ended up not convincing manager Mauricio Pochettino he deserved a place in the team, and was loaned to Nottingham Forest.
With only one game for the Reds so far, the Chelsea loanee is still struggling to adapt to English football.
