Chelsea Nearing Deal to Acquire Santos Wonderkid
In an exclusive report, ESPN Brasil’s esteemed journalist Luciano Borges has learned that Chelsea Football Club is edging closer to completing a significant transfer deal for Santos’ highly regarded teenage striker, Angelo. The Premier League giants have reportedly submitted a substantial bid of €15 million ($16.36m) to secure the services of the 18-year-old on a permanent basis.
Negotiations between the two clubs have reached an advanced stage, with all parties involved optimistic about finalizing the agreement in the near future. Once Santos gives the green light, Chelsea will proceed to engage in contract negotiations with the promising forward.
Hailing from Brasilia, Angelo’s rapid rise through the ranks has caught the attention of scouts and pundits alike. Having displayed exceptional talent in Santos’ youth setup, he was deservedly promoted to the club’s first team in January 2021. Since then, the gifted striker has made a commendable impact, finding the back of the net twice in 12 appearances in the league this season.
Should this imminent transfer come to fruition, Angelo will have the opportunity to join his fellow countrymen Thiago Silva and Andrey Santos at the prestigious Stamford Bridge. The prospect of playing alongside experienced compatriots and under the guidance of a renowned manager like Thomas Tuchel is undoubtedly an enticing proposition for the young Brazilian.
