The Brazilian joined Nottingham in the 2023 summer transfer window on a season-long loan, but things have not gone as planned. Since moving to The City Ground, Santos has only appeared twice with a total time of only 97 minutes on the field.

 

And according to The Standard, Chelsea can recall the 19-year-old player due to not being able to play often. Santos signed a £16m deal with the Blues last January from Vasco de Gamo and has impressed in pre-season under Mauricio Pochettino.

 

Chelsea are understood to have a contract release clause with Santos, meaning they can call the young player back from Nottingham in January if he does not make a certain number of appearances. Many opinions say that Chelsea may let Santos move to another team after recalling him from Nottingham.Currently, there are many teams that want Santos’ services. Porto, Benfica and Lyon were all names that were interested in the 19-year-old player during the summer transfer window, but Chelsea decided to let him join Nottingham so he could get used to the Premier League environment.

 

However, Chelsea fans really want to keep their rising star and want Coach Pochettino to give the midfielder a chance, just like he did in the friendly before the new season. Many of them took to social networks to “beg” the team’s board to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.

 

One person wrote: “Bring him home!”. While another added: “Call him back my boy, we need him.” And a third person spoke up: “Please bring him back!!”
