If Chelsea have this high volume player trading model which relies on constantly selling players to generate funds to buy more players, you have to be prepared to sell within the Premier League because that's basically the entire market.

It's that and a handful of European clubs that can pay the kind of fees that we're talking about.

With Andre Santos, he's someone who hasn't yet cemented himself as a regular starter.

It looked at one stage of last season under Liam Rosinha like that was starting to happen because Rosinha came in, put him behind Moises Caicedo in a kind of Casemiro type role in Chelsea's midfield and he played well there for a stretch of games and then some mistakes crept in, form fell off, Rosinha's selection kind of went away with him and a lot of things went away from Rosinha and

Santos never really got the momentum back last year.

He didn't really play much under Maresca.

I think Maresca didn't really know what to make of him as a midfielder, whether he's a number eight, number six.

But I think there's real upside for Manchester United or any club that might get him because...

He's capped in Brazil at youth level.

He is seen, I think, in Brazil as the long-term replacement for Casemiro.

So he kind of makes sense as someone who might replace him at club level.

He's shown some good signs in that kind of midfield destroyer role, which all raises the question why Chelsea prepared to sell a 22-year-old.

And I think it's a good question, but I think they're in a position where they finished 10th in the Premier League last year.

They have to make some difficult decisions now.

to try to gear this squad around Xabi Alonso coming in.

And to do that, they probably have to sell to generate at least a chunk of their transfer budget.

And you also have Andres Santos, like a few players, I think, at Chelsea right now who are looking ahead to next season thinking...

Well, they've got 38 Premier League games and maybe a handful of cup games.

There's no European football.

So minutes are going to be quite thin on the ground.
