Andrey Santos’ performances at Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg this season are not going unnoticed.
The midfielder scored his 10th goal of the season last Friday, netting in Strasbourg’s 4-2 win against Lyon. Chelsea will have no regrets about sending him to France.
The only problem for them is Santos is now starting to attract interest from some big European clubs.
In January, it was reported that Bayern Munich are keen on signing Santos, but they are not the only ones.

AC Milan, Inter Milan and PSG interested in Andrey Santos
AC Milan have done a lot of business with Chelsea in recent years, and it looks like they could try to do more this summer.
According to Sport Mediaset, Milan, who signed Joao Felix from Chelsea in the January transfer window, want to bring Santos to the San Siro on loan.
The same outlet claims that their city rivals Inter Milan also want to do the same thing, while it is thought that Paris Saint-Germain have some interest in the 20-year-old as well.
PSG’s interest in Santos is not too much of a surprise. They have got to see first-hand what he is capable of, with the Brazilian currently playing in Ligue 1.

Santos recently spoke about his future, claiming that Chelsea have not decided anything yet.
Amid all of this interest in him, though, he will be able to demand regular minutes next season. If Enzo Maresca cannot offer the Brazil international that, then an exit could be a real possibility.

It was a midfield performance that had a lot to it and showed what Santos can bring to Chelsea next season.
With the Blues already having Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Romeo Lavia and now Dario Essugo, Maresca could have a bit of a conundrum.
