Report: Chelsea now tempted to sell young rising star to Saudi with window still open | OneFootball

The Saudi Arabia transfer window is still open until the 23rd of this month, meaning they are still looking to do some deals.

Until the window closes there, we are going to be seeing plenty of speculation around some players and likely more offers and approaches made, and Chelsea will be bracing themselves to be in the receiving end of some of those too.

EXCLUSIVE! Interview with Chelsea cult hero Ramires!

The biggest story of today so far is the Nicolas Jackson saga which is unfortunately still going on and on since his move to Bayern Munich on loan finally happened after Chelsea trying to stop it at one point last week.

Just when you though it was all over, a Bayern board member claimed yesterday that for the obligation to kick in on his loan deal next summer, Jackson must start 40 games for them this season, which of course is basically going to be impossible!

But Jackson has a rep who likes to post a lot of stuff on Instagram and just generally talk too much, and he has in his usual fashion, has responded to the comments made by the Bayern board member and invertedly says it’s lies!

Back to the original story now and Andrey Santos could apparently still leave Chelsea this window.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah are looking to take advantage of Santos not starting games for Chelsea right now, and according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, they have made a ‘huge offer’ worth £60m to sign the ‘young gem’ this window.

It is noted in the report that Chelsea are ‘tempted’ to sanction his exit.

I don’t believe it at all

My verdict is that this is not a good source and Chelsea will not be selling Santos, nor will he be pushing to go right now. Next!
