According to AS, after other striker options fell through, Sevilla has once again added Chelsea's Andrey Santos to their transfer list. The club is currently negotiating a loan deal for the Brazilian striker, with plans for Strasbourg to first purchase the player and then loan him to Sevilla.

Andrey Santos has returned to Sevilla's transfer radar. After other options to strengthen their attacking line fell through, Sevilla has reopened negotiations to sign the striker who was already on the club's list several weeks ago. Previously, Sevilla failed to sign Konrad de la Fuente, a player who was close to joining in recent days. With other options exhausted, Andrey Santos, who had appeared to be off the table, has resurfaced as a target.

Strasbourg, which is owned by Chelsea's parent company BlueCo, will first purchase Andrey Santos from Chelsea, then loan him to Sevilla. Currently, all parties are negotiating this arrangement. The deal between Chelsea and Strasbourg has been finalized. The Blues will receive 16 million euros from the transfer, recovering their initial investment in Andrey Santos. The deal is now only awaiting signatures, with documentation sent to both clubs.

As for Sevilla, due to limited club funds, they are currently negotiating to loan Andrey Santos until the end of the season and hope to use the arrival of Djibril Sow to advance the deal. The main sticking point is Andrey Santos's wages. Strasbourg wants Sevilla to cover the player's entire salary, while Sevilla wants to split it. Both parties are currently negotiating to reach an agreement.

Meanwhile, Andrey Santos himself is pushing for the deal to go through, hoping to play in La Liga before the transfer window closes.

Andrey Santos, 21, joined Chelsea from Santos in summer 2023 for 16 million euros. In February 2025, he was loaned back to Santos until September 2025. Last season, Andrey Santos made only 8 appearances for Chelsea's reserve team and did not score. In the previous season, after returning to Brazil, he participated in 19 official matches without scoring.

Under the current proposal, Andrey Santos would join Sevilla as a season-long loan. He is a box striker, 1.87 meters tall, and a Brazil U20 international who has made 12 appearances and scored 3 goals for Brazil U20.

Beyond recruiting Andrey Santos, Sevilla will continue negotiating for a winger. If financial conditions permit in the final days of the transfer window, the club also hopes to sign a player capable of playing as a defensive midfielder. Recently, Sevilla has considered several players to strengthen their left wing. Leon Bailey has a high salary at Aston Villa, and to recruit Isak Bergmann Jóhannesson, Sevilla would need to pay approximately 4 million euros in transfer fees. Jóhannesson was previously a teammate of Romain Saïss, and if he joins, they would play together again. Currently, both options appear difficult to achieve in principle. If Fábio Cardoso or another defender departs, freeing up salary space, Sevilla will also look for a versatile player capable of playing multiple positions in defense and midfield.

However, all these operations depend on the club's financial situation. Currently, the departure of Rubén Vargas remains unlikely to materialize, and selling him is a key operation Sevilla had planned for the final phase of the transfer window, but so far this plan has not succeeded.
