The Chelsea player will “sign papers” and “undergo medicals” on Wednesday night to finalise the deal.
Andrey Santos was forced to return to Chelsea after his contract at Nottingham Forest was terminated due to his lack of performance in the first half of the season.
But the young Brazilian showed no desire in playing for the Blues, so a second temporary transfer was arranged, this time to associate club RC Strasbourg.
The Chelsea midfielder’s involvement in the Pre-Olympic competition with Brazil, which ended prematurely for him, has prevented him from reporting to his new squad, as L’Equipe has explained.
After failing to help his country earn a spot in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the young player is set to travel to France. According to the publication, he is expected to arrive on Wednesday night in order to “undergo medicals,” which include blood tests, and then “sign the papers of his loan” until the end of the season.
This implies that on Thursday morning, the Chelsea loanee is probably going to participate in his first training session, which just so happens to be public.
His goal for this period is to play a lot more football than he did under Steve Cooper, which amounted to just seven minutes of Premier League play.
