According to the London Evening Standard, Chelsea has no intention of letting Andre Santos leave the team, whether it is for rent or for sale.

West Ham United considered signing Santos for a transfer fee of £45 million, but was immediately told that the Brazilian was "not a seller". The Hammers then gave up their pursuit of the 21-year-old midfielder. This summer, Santos participated in the Club World Cup with Chelsea. In the first round of the Premier League, the young player came on as a substitute but failed to help the team win.

This summer, Santos returned to Chelsea after his loan career in Strasbourg, and the club took him to the Club World Cup to accumulate first-team experience. Next, he is expected to get a stable playing time.
