Manchester United have agreed a £50m deal for Andrey Santos (1) (6). The midfielder is heading to Old Trafford after Chelsea decided to cash in. It is a major profit on a player who never quite locked down a starting role at Stamford Bridge.
Geovany Quenda is a Chelsea player. The winger joins from Sporting CP on a deal running through 2034, confirmed on Wednesday (2) (3) (7). The fee is around £40m (6). "It feels great to be here," Quenda said (2).
Jesse Derry has signed a new Chelsea contract through 2032 and immediately joined Sporting on loan (2) (4) (5). No purchase option, Chelsea protect the asset while giving Derry a season of senior football (4).
In the biggest story of the window, Real Madrid have accepted a Chelsea offer for Eduardo Camavinga (11). The French midfielder could arrive at Stamford Bridge if personal terms are agreed. Tchouaméni's situation at Madrid may have opened the door (11).
Chelsea are also monitoring Álvaro Carreras as a left-back option, with the market shifting after Fran García left Real Madrid (10). Nothing advanced, but the interest is real.
Read Chelsea captured the Santos move perfectly: the profit plan works, but it comes at a cost (8). £50m banked, now Xabi Alonso needs to see that money on the pitch.
