FC Santos obliges another talented attacker: the newly baked U20 South American champion Deivid Washington returns to his youth club from Chelsea FC. On Thursday, Santos announced the deal, which is initially scheduled until the end of 2025, but also contained a purchase option for the 19-year-old.
Chelsea had signed Deivid Washington in the summer of 2023 after only 16 professional games for 16 million euros and equipped it with a contract until 2030. Since then, the center forward on Stamford Bridge has only been used three times for the first team. This season he only stood in the squad in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup against fourth division Barrow (5: 0), otherwise played a few times for the U21 (four goals and a template in five Premier League 2 games).
Santos is back in Brazilian Série A after the first descent a year ago and has already been well -intensified. Not only did World Star Neymar (33) return, Gabriel Veron (22) was also borrowed from FC Porto and Benjamín Rollheiser (24) for 11 million euros from Benfica, the second highest replacement in club history.
